Delhi has its very own open art district and not many actually know about it. Lodhi colony was turned into a public art district by an NGO called St+art India Foundation. Currently, the Lodhi colony is hosting a two-month long art festival and it is a must go for people who love to explore finer things in life.
A variety of Indian and International artists have worked on this festival and it is worth seeing their work. The festival which commenced on Feb 1 will be on till March 15 and so if you find yourself in Delhi anytime soon, this is the place to be.

This is the third edition of the festival and it is becoming bigger and better each year. This year, 30 new artists will be showing their work at the festival. The new murals that will paint the town will have some interesting themes ranging from women empowerment to LGBTQ rights. Artists from Australia, Netherlands, and Japan will be putting up their work.
The festival will also host workshops and fun activities over the weekends for those who are interested in exploring music and art. If pop-up exhibitions are your thing then you must head over to the festival on March 2 and 3 for popular street art photographer Martha Cooper’s workshop.
Every weekend, St+art India is also organising curated tours across the Lodhi colony which will explain to you more about the artists’ works.
If you happen to be in Delhi in the next few weeks and are interested in art, the Lodhi art festival will be an interesting place for you to be.
