Every artist`s desire has always been to show their work in a major city like Mumbai in an effort to reach a larger audience. The financial centre provides fresh and constantly developing art locations, keeping the art scene as active as ever.
However, many artists cannot afford exhibiting costs, even in public galleries. The Bombay Art Society, which has been supporting art and artists since 1888, developed a series of art exhibitions called “Art Carnival,” a type of group display that are affordable for up-and-coming artists, keeping in mind the limits of the art infrastructure and financial constraints.

He further added, “The Art Carnival aims to initiate direct communication between artists and art viewers including art writers and art buyers. There are many artists who stay outside major art markets and find it hard to showcase their art in the mainstream art arena. Through Art Carnival, Society aims to bridge this gap and provide artists with exposure for their art, simultaneously providing art collectors and buyers with access to that art.”
