Vishnu Manchu, renowned actor, philanthropist, and Pro-Chancellor of Mohan Babu University, founded VMAF to promote art and artists who have often remained under the radar despite their extraordinary talent. His leadership and commitment to the arts have made VMAF a significant name in the Indian art scene and beyond.
The Vishnu Manchu Art Foundation (VMAF), established in 2014, is a platform dedicated to fostering artistic talent and showcasing creative excellence from around the world. Inspired by the discovery of remarkable artists in unexpected places, VMAF provides both emerging and established artists with an avenue to share their work, while integrating art into educational spaces like Mohan Babu University.
At VMAF, we believe that art has the power to inspire, educate, and transform society. Our foundation stands as a testament to the transformative journey that began with one artist and has since blossomed into a thriving community of visionaries dedicated to preserving and promoting artistic expression.
Explore the works of talented artists who bring stories to life through their unique styles and creative visions. From traditional to contemporary art, each piece reflects passion, culture, and innovation.
Stay updated with the latest exhibitions, workshops, and the annual VMAF Art Camp, which brings together senior and upcoming artists for creative exchange and mentorship every March.

“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”
