The CIMA Art Mela has been a mainstay in Kolkata's cultural calendar since its inception in 2010. Back then, it was the first art fair of its kind in the country, showcasing affordable artworks by some of India's best emerging and established artists. The idea was to make art more accessible to ordinary Indians, and it resonated with Kolkata's art-minded middle class.
Now in its fifteenth year, the CIMA Art Mela is no longer limited to Kolkata. With successful editions in Mumbai and New Delhi in recent years, the CIMA Art Mela has become a truly national event in India's art calendar. This March, the CIMA Art Mela returns to the Visual Art Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, for its fourth edition in the national capital.
“We are excited to bring back CIMA ART MELA for art lovers to view and purchase high-quality original artworks at unimaginable prices. Once again, it is a not-to-miss occasion with a breathtaking collection of masters and young award winners from across India. Our goal is to make art accessible to everyone and create a platform that educates, informs, and inspires.”
Rakhi Sarkar, Director, Centre for International Modern Art (CIMA)
Meticulously screened and selected by CIMA’s curatorial team, the CIMA Art Mela 2025 will be India's largest affordable art fair, featuring works in the INR 5,000 to 5,00,000 range by modern and contemporary masters such as Jayasri Burman, Jogen Chowdhury, Lalu Prasad Shaw, Arpita Singh, Paramjit Singh, Paresh Maity, Ganesh Pyne, Chandrima Roy, and Shakila, as well as folk art such as Gond art, Madhubani paintings, traditional Odisha paintings, and Kalighat pata paintings.
