About Art Bengaluru:



Art Bengaluru is an exclusive event that is designed to showcase various types of art
forms including 'Wall Art' (fine art, paintings, illustrations, photographs) and
'Stand-alone Art' (sculpture, installations, product design). Art Bengaluru was first
launched in March 2010, and after two successful editions, the event this year promises to
be bigger and more diverse since it has extended its purview to include different forms of
art!



The venue for Art Bengaluru will be the highly-acclaimed, The Collection, UB City,
which is conveniently located in the heart of cosmopolitan Bangalore. Needless to say, the
Tuscan architecture of UB City complements the art festival by creating an illusion of
fluent expanse. Art displayed in this landmark area promises to enhance aesthetic
awareness and create a sensory delight for the viewer.
