The most awaited event on Mumbai’s art and culture calendar, Mumbai Gallery Weekend, is back from 12 to 15 January, 2023—this time on a far grander scale, with a wider range of galleries, both established and young, that are situated throughout the city—in Colaba, Fort, Kala Ghoda, Ballard Estate, Worli, Lower Parel, Byculla and Bandra.
The four-day Gallery Weekend is a fantastic opportunity to engage with the Visual arts—including Painting, Sculpture, Photography, Media Art, Installation, the Decorative Arts, and Design. New entrants on Mumbai’s gallery scene that will be part of the Weekend, include Experimeter Colaba, Chemould CoLab, Art and Charlie, and the impressive Ice Factory Ballard Estate—which will host a Young Collectors’ Weekend. At the other end of the spectrum, DAG will present a single work at their space in the Taj Mahal Hotel—the first ever commissioned portrait by Raja Ravi Varma.
There will be pop up exhibitions organised especially for the Weekend, by platforms such as The Upside Space. Some of the galleries will host talks in their spaces. Art and Charlie will host a dance performance, Bhooter Nach //The Ghost Dance, by Gia Singh Arora.
Mumbai Gallery Weekend began in 2012 with a group of 9 galleries, with the belief that a collective approach would make for a more vibrant art scene. Now entering its 11th year, the Weekend will have 32 participating galleries and promises to be a sensational event.
