The much awaited event will take place from 30 January - 2 February 2020 in partnership with BMW Group India, 

75 exhibitors spanning 20 different global cities, with the tent façade designed by popular Indian artist and illustrator Sameer Kulavoor will be on showcase. 

The 12th edition of the fair celebrates the thriving modern-day art scene across South Asia, positioning the artists at its core, combining cutting-edge contemporary visual art with modern masters, vernacular artistic traditions, and an expanded performance, and talks programme.

Now in its twelfth year, the fair will return to New Delhi with a strong showcase of galleries from across India with a continual commitment to the fair, providing a minimum of 70% floor space to leading cultural spaces from the region, complimented by a selection of international galleries and extended programme of live performances and talks," said Jagdip Jagpal, Fair Director of India Art Fair.

"Each year, we provide a platform for the promotion of activities taking place outside Delhi and Mumbai, from supporting Kochi-Muziris Biennale and Serendipity Arts Festival in the 2018 and 2019 editions respectively, to giving Chennai Photo Biennale a presence at the fair in 2020. 

"We are also excited to welcome young galleries from India including Art Explore and Gallery White, alongside new participants from across the globe with Saskia Fernando Gallery from Sri Lanka, PSM from Germany and Marc Straus from the United States,” Jagpal added.
