Delhi Art Week is an independent and inclusive non-profit initiative launched in 2021. It aims to bring together private and public art institutions to raise awareness, educate and focus attention on modern and contemporary art in the capital. The key goal of this collaborative effort is to strengthen ties between art organisations and art lovers, and encourage patronage.
The inaugural edition of the event in April 2021 has seen the participation of over 30 galleries and institutions, while the second edition of the event was a hybrid version held in August 2022 and featured over 40 exhibitions at four clusters or zones of venues across the city. The shows were available to view for a global audience on the online platform Artsy until 14 September 2022.
