The second edition of AF Weekender, India’s first pan-India art event, kicks off today.

Avantika Shankar writes: The three-day event hosted by Art Fervour (art.fervour) will have galleries staying open beyond working hours and special studio visits for young collectors.

“The #art ecosystem in #india is considered to be an elite space, monopolised by intellectuals and collectors,” says Art Fervour founder Nivedita Poddar (supernivi), a Kolkata native who studied Art Market and Art World Practices at christiesinc in London. When she founded Art Fervour in March 2019, Poddar hoped to create recreational experiences around art that didn’t demand prior expertise in the field, and used emailers and Instagram to reach young audiences.

The first edition of #afweekender, held in February 2021, was entirely digital, and included talks by eminent personalities such as Debottam Bose, India’s first art lawyer, and Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (knmaindia) curator Akansha Rastogi (hangarforthepasserby). Nearly 1,700 people attended.

The end goal, however, was to bring people into #galleries, #museums, or even the streets, to engage with art first-hand. When Poddar announced this year’s Weekender would be entirely in-person, she received interest from cities as far-flung as Santiniketan and Surat, Coimbatore and Leh.

“One of the things I was not expecting was for so many emerging artists to get in touch with us themselves, to ask how they could participate,” she shares. “They want to show their work, they want to be out there, they want to push their boundaries.”
