India Art Fair
India Art Fair
Organised by Angus Montgomery Arts, the subcontinent’s leading platform for modern and contemporary art, India Art Fair is a marquee event that brings artists, institutions, connoisseurs and collectors together at an annual pilgrimage to India’s capital city. Launched in 2008, the annual fair celebrates modern-day South Asia, presenting a blend of cutting-edge contemporary visual art with modern masters and vernacular artistic traditions. India Art Fair works with galleries, private foundations and arts charities, artists’ collectives and national museums, with the aim of placing the voice of the art and artist at the core.
Supporting arts education and professional development opportunities is among the missions of the fair, which runs a year-round programme of events aiming to increase audiences for the arts within India. Artists and art lovers alike are drawn to India Art Fair as it offers them numerous opportunities to network and discover new art.
The 14th and most recent edition of the festival in 2023 showcased ambitious presentations featuring exceptional works by artists from South Asia as well as several international artists. The main “Galleries”
section showcased outstanding presentations by leading regional and international galleries; the “Focus”
section highlighted solo presentations curated by participating galleries, putting a strong emphasis on
painters from distinguished names such as Jayashree Chakravarty; “The Studio” housed an arresting
selection of tech-meets-art projects and installations, inviting audiences to explore and experience the
power of digital art; the “Platform” section showcased the rich artistic traditions of India through the
works of contemporary masters of traditional arts; the “Outdoor Art Project” included
thought-provoking sculptural installations by Parag Tandel and others; and the IAF Parallel
programme provided a unique multi-layered experience for visitors to celebrate the art scene of New
Delhi.

Items & Accessories to Carry
1. Woolens. Delhi gets very cold in January, with temperatures dipping as low as 5°C.
2. Comfortable footwear such as sneakers.
3. A sturdy water bottle, if the festival has refillable water stations and the venue allows bottles to be taken inside.
4. Medicines. Art fairs are replete with after-parties. If you are bound to do some champagne sipping across several parties in one night, it’s good to have some painkillers for the inevitable hangover.
5. A tote bag, for all those books and brochures you may want to lug back home. Art fairs have great bookstalls with deals on amazing coffee tables and art history books.
6. Cash and cards. It’s always a good idea to carry both in case technology fails us or if you want to avail of cash discounts that bookstalls give on the spot.
7. COVID packs: Hand sanitiser, extra masks and a copy of your vaccination certificate are things you should keep handy.
