Hyderabadis are true art lovers: Rajendra Patil

Metro India News | Hyderabad

The number of galleries increased a lot, and around 20,000 people visited the show. This is our third edition in Hyderabad, and the scale has grown nicely. Overall, the festival has completed 38 editions across Mumbai, Delhi, and Bengaluru, but Hyderabad has given a very encouraging response. Hyderabadis are true art lovers, said Rajendra Patil, founder and director of India Art Festival.

Being our third year here, the success of earlier editions has helped build strong momentum. The city’s art community has actively participated, with over 300 artists and around 120 stalls—many of them featuring Hyderabad-based talent.

We have arranged different types of stalls—gallery stalls, solo artist stalls, and spaces for young and new artists. This makes it very easy and useful for visitors to explore a wide variety of art in one place.
