IndianOil's biennial art exhibition has come of age, with its 22nd edition this year titled 'The Canvas Code'. What began as an eclectic art display in 1987 at IndianOil's head office in Bandra, has today, become a significant event on Mumbai's art calendar. This philanthropic initiative of IndianOil is organized with a view to support and promote young budding talent in the art fraternity and provides them a prestigious platform to exhibit their work alongside established artists. A wide array of paintings by over 90 artists from across the country will be showcased at the Jehangir Art Gallery from October 24 to 29, 2018. It will also present a diverse range of artworks by artists of different age groups, styles and categories. IndianOil has also collaborated with NGO Nanhi Kali to ensure that 10 per cent of sale proceeds will be contributed to charity.

The event will be formally inaugurated by internationally acclaimed artist Bose Krishnamachari at Jehangir Art Gallery on October 24,2018, where he will unveil the work of 12 masters, 35 eminent sculptor artists and painters and 38 upcoming artists. This year will include a lot of firsts for IndianOil that includes a special preview on the evening of October 23, 2018. The preview evening is an exclusive opportunity for collectors and art buyers to reserve art works before the exhibition is thrown open for public viewing. The exhibition has, for the first time, given an opportunity to specially challenged artists like Sudarshan Manse and Gaurav Dhamija. The exhibition will also feature the most promising in-house artists (IOC employees), who, despite their tough professional schedules, have passionately developed an enviable body of work.
