The gallery is nestled in the lush green pentagon of the key areas of Kapurbavdi junction, Ghodbandar road, Balkum, Dhokali and Kolshet. This art gallery is managed under the aegis of Mahesh Rajderkar, Dy Public Relations Officer, TMC. Sharmilaa Iyer, founder of Naitaai Gauras' Art Gallery at Thane, has volunteered her service to Thane Municipal Corporation for running shows effectively.

The gallery spaces out an area of 16,000 sq feet and is spread over three floors with an illumination of natural lights, along with the electric ones. The gallery is built in a spherical shape, but appears conical from outside, and offers a 360 degree view, from wherever one stands in the gallery.
