The fair offers a comprehensive supporting programme that includes a platform for lectures, artist talks, performances and film screenings. Special projects and installations are often displayed in the outdoor area of the fairgrounds, pushing the boundaries of traditional art presentation. The India Art Fair is known for its lively atmosphere, which reflects the cultural energy of the region.
Target audience:
The fair is aimed at a diverse audience, ranging from experienced art collectors, gallery owners and curators to young art lovers and newcomers to the art market. It attracts both a strong local Indian audience and international visitors interested in the art and cultural developments of the region.
History:
The India Art Fair was founded in 2008 by Neha Kirpal and has since become the leading art fair in South Asia. It arose from the need to create a professional and international platform for the emerging Indian art scene. Over the years, the fair has played a key role in raising the international profile of Indian and South Asian artists and in professionalising and expanding the art market in the region. It has established itself as an important meeting place for artists and art lovers.
