In 2020, a local club in Behala launched the festival with the backing of renowned visual artist Sanatan Dinda. Since then, the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/organiser\/behala-art-fest-committee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Behala Art Fest Committee<\/a> has organised four successful editions of the festival, with the latest one held  between 2 and 5 Feb 2023. <br><br>The festival explores different genres, from installation to performance art, to communicate with the common man and create community art. Over the years, more than 150 artists from various backgrounds and disciplines have participated in the festival. By providing a platform for artists to connect and collaborate, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/behalaartfest\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">BAF<\/a> creates a vibrant atmosphere that encourages expression, participation, interaction and dialogue with the audience. The festival transforms parking spaces, walls of homes, market spaces, rickshaw stands and walkways into display arenas for art, subverting the idea of art as an elitist preoccupation and making it more inclusive and accessible. This year&#8217;s festival showcased over 50 artists, including Sanatan Dinda, Samindranath Majumdar, Debraj Goswami, Puspen Roy, Snehasis Maity, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out more art festivals <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.festivalsfromindia.com\/genres\/arts-crafts\/\">here<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":13187,"parent":0,"template":"","genres":[11,13,12],"facilities":[377,368],"senses":[29],"locations":[430],"custom_tags":[1188],"hash_tags":[1198],"handpicked_collections":[1044],"language":[746,57,58],"months":[277],"accessibility":[381,380],"hosting_type":[338],"covid_safety_protocol":[388,385],"class_list":["post-13176","festival","type-festival","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","genres-arts-crafts","genres-photography","genres-visual-arts","facilities-eco-friendly","facilities-pet-friendly","senses-sight","locations-west-bengal","custom_tags-behalaartfest","hash_tags-behalaartfest","handpicked_collections-family-friendly","language-bengali","language-english","language-hindi","months-february","accessibility-unisex-toilets","accessibility-wheelchair-access","hosting_type-in-person","covid_safety_protocol-limited-capacity","covid_safety_protocol-sanitiser-booths"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Behala Art Fest - Festivals From India<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Behala Art Fest is a curated art festival which provides a platform for artists from different fields and practices to connect together.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Behala Art Fest - Festivals From India\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Behala Art Fest is a curated art festival which provides a platform for artists from different fields and practices to connect together.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/festival\/behala-art-fest\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Festivals From India\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-02-22T13:20:25+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair.-Photo-New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair-3-1.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1440\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"650\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/\",\"name\":\"Behala Art Fest - Festivals From India\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"image\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/#primaryimage\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/02\\\/New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair.-Photo-New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair-3-1.png\",\"datePublished\":\"2023-02-22T13:07:19+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2023-02-22T13:20:25+00:00\",\"description\":\"Behala Art Fest is a curated art festival which provides a platform for artists from different fields and practices to connect together.\",\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/festival\\\/behala-art-fest\\\/#primaryimage\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/02\\\/New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair.-Photo-New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair-3-1.png\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.festivalsfromindia.com\\\/blog\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2023\\\/02\\\/New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair.-Photo-New-Delhi-World-Book-Fair-3-1.png\",\"width\":1440,\"height\":650,\"caption\":\"Behala Art Fest.
