India Art Festival returns to Mumbai in 2026, showcasing 150+ artists and galleries at Nehru Centre, Worli.
India Art Festival 2026
As the India Art Festival prepares to open at Nehru Centre, Worli, from 30 January to 1 February 2026, one aspect stands out clearly-its strong community of returning artists and galleries. Nearly 150 repeat participants, including over 30 art galleries and more than 120 artists, continue to shape the festival’s identity year after year.
Since its Mumbai debut in 2011, India Art Festival has grown into a platform where artistic journeys evolve over time. Many artists return not only with new bodies of work but with deeper confidence, refined techniques, and expanded narratives. This continuity creates a rich visual dialogue across the exhibition floor.
Photography, painting, sculpture, ceramics, and mixed media come together to reflect shared concerns of memory, movement, spirituality, tradition, and contemporary life. From meditative abstractions and mythological interpretations to expressive figurative works and landscapes, the artworks reflect India’s diverse creative voices.
Several artists explore themes of strength and motion through animal forms, while others focus on spiritual balance, folk traditions, and everyday life. Textured abstract works sit alongside detailed realist portraits, while geometric patterns, thread works, and ceramic forms add depth to the viewing experience. The result is a layered exhibition where tradition and modern expression coexist naturally.
Today, art collecting is increasingly influenced by fairs rather than gallery-only spaces. India Art Festival responds to this shift by offering an open, interactive environment where visitors can engage directly with artists, understand their stories, and discover art at approachable price points.
For many participants, the festival is more than an exhibition-it is a growing ecosystem built on trust, dialogue, and shared growth. Together, these returning artists form the backbone of India Art Festival, turning it into a living celebration of continuity, diversity, and creative resilience.
