India Art Festival (IAF), a big gala of world’s art, was held at Thyagaraj Stadium in New Delhi on November 22–25. The grand event attracted over 500 artists from 40 cities through its 35 art galleries. The even displayed all kind of arts: painting, sculptures, photography, ceramics, textiles and installations from rural India to metro cities.

The event, which is conducted by the publishers of Indian Contemporary Art Journal, was first held in 2011.

The focus of this year’s event was the work and performance of 100 independent artists from cities like Chennai, Jammu, Tripura and Ahmedabad. The independent artists include mid-career, established as well as emerging artists.

IAF also offered a venue for budding artists to showcase their talent.

Rajendra, the director of India Art Festival, said: “The art scene in Delhi has become event-driven, with bigger art events drawing in more crowds than solo or group exhibitions in individual art galleries. Economical art fairs – in terms of participation cost – are easy for exhibitors to take part in and recover basic participation cost, hence they participate every year. Almost 90% of art galleries and 60% of artists are repeat participants in India Art Festival; this growth is phenomenal in such trying times.”

Art festival like IAF offers a unique opportunity for artists and connoisseurs alike to create and appreciate new works of art.

Hi there,

Thank you for visiting PICANTE News and thank you reading my articles!

I have been writing articles and explaining reports in several industries for well over a decade or so.

During my education phase I've graduated in Physics and obtained my Master’s degree in Communication and Journalism.

Although I usually focus on social and political news, I have some favorite topics that always make me happier. These topics include writing about sports events and travel writing.

During my career I've have written for numerous websites and my in-depth analytical articles have been highlighted in top sports magazines like Cricket Today and Sports Today. I report several social, education and wordwide community releated headlines from all around the globe.
