Since its first edition in 2011, India Art Festival successfully initiated the process of democratization of art market at two levels – first by mingling less-articulate rural artists with the metro-bred urban artists and second by bringing out the very ‘art viewing & buying’ process from confines of conventional art spaces. 

Here's a sneak peak at some art that will be on display. For more, check out http://indiaartfestival.com/
