Delhi Art Weekend 2026 brings art and workshops to Travancore
Delhi Art Weekend is a three-day creative festival in New Delhi.
It will be held at Travancore Palace from September 25 to 27, 2026.
People can see art, listen to conversations, and join hands-on workshops.
The main exhibition is called “Eka: Fragments of Arrival.”
It looks at how Delhi has been shaped by people, memories, and movement.
Speakers will discuss films, storytelling, fashion, and culture.
Visitors can also learn about type design, textiles, portraiture, and light art.
The organizers want the festival to feel welcoming and less formal than a traditional gallery event.
Delhi Art Weekend will take place at Central Delhi’s Travancore Palace from September 25 to 27, 2026.
The festival combines visual art, panel discussions, workshops, independent fashion, music, and other creative practices.
Its central exhibition, “Eka: Fragments of Arrival,” explores Delhi through movement, memory, migration, and identity.
Talks will cover storytelling, cinema’s legacy, cultural history, and honesty in mainstream creative work.
Public workshops include type design, graphic storytelling, light art, portraiture, upcycled textiles, and a culinary archive on dried dates.

“Our aim with all the art weekends is to create a cross-section of Art, Music, Fashion, and as many other mediums of creative practice as possible. The mixture of our audience brings a feeling of community and reduces the intimidation that people sometimes feel at art openings and events.”

“The highlight of the weekends for me is always the Art Show. This year, the curatorial theme explores the making of oneness through fragments—of places, memories, histories, and identities.”
