Question

a news report in brief on art festival

Answer 1

Before the more premier and talked about India Art Fair opens in Delhi, a more low key art event precedes it in the month of January. The India Art Festival, which is in its second edition, promotes itself as a more “affordable” outfit. “One of our primary objectives is to give a platform to artists who are not represented by galleries, and otherwise find it difficult to approach collectors. It is also a place where collectors can see the work of the masters at stalls put up by galleries as well as works of independent, young, and up-and-coming artists,” says Rajendra, founder and managing director of the fair. Also the vice president of the Bombay Art Society, he first launched the festival in Mumbai in 2011.

Answer 2

An arts festival is a festival that can encompass a wide range of art genres including music, dance, film, fine art, literature, poetry etc. and isn't solely focused on "visual arts." Arts festivals may feature a mixed program that include music, literature, comedy, children's entertainment, science, or street theatre, and are typically presented in venues over a period of time ranging from as short as a day or a weekend to a month.[1]Each event within the program is usually separately ticketed.
