The art festival is all set to provide the best of Art and Culture with exemplary service to all art lovers from 11 am to 8 pm and will continue till 16 October at Constitution Club of India, Rafi Marg, and New Delhi.
No matter how many digital platforms we create, art festivals are uniquely appealing due to the experience of actually being there, visually relishing artworks hanging on the walls, enjoying a chat with the artists, mingling with friends, and enjoying a cup of coffee in a makeshift cafeteria!
