The stark interiors of an art gallery and the sight of connoisseurs soaking in the exhibits in hushed tones can be quite an intimidating experience for someone who hasn't studied art or prefers investing in fixed deposits over Husains. But a thing of beauty is a joy forever — and for all.

It was with this belief that Alisha Sadikot and Nishita Zachariah, two history and art enthusiasts, started their initiative, Art Walks Mumbai, two years ago.

This Saturday, the duo will conduct The Hidden Gallery Hop in Colaba, covering five spaces, each showcasing the different artist's work. "The idea is to take participants through the beautiful galleries in the locality, where sometimes a single lane may be home to six or seven of them," informs Rohan Prakash, business head of Trip 360, the organising company.
