The India Art Fair stands as South Asia’s leading platform for discovering modern and contemporary art, offering an immersive journey into the region’s rich cultural landscape. IAF is a dynamic space where galleries, artists, private foundations, national institutions, arts charities, and collectives converge to showcase the evolution of artistic expression across India and its neighbouring countries. From traditional forms to cutting-edge digital installations, the fair fosters meaningful dialogue and engagement, bridging local and global perspectives.
