For travelers who are interested in India’s art, then the perfect event for you is the Indian Art Summit.  This is a very new event in New Delhi, having had its second event in August of 2009, and is held annually.  It has been extremely successful, having attracted thousands of visitors both years.  The number of international galleries increased from 3 to 17 from 2008 to 2009, giving a sense of the direction this is moving, becoming more attractive to the rest of the world.  India’s art market is certainly on the rise, and it is a major contender in the international art scene.  There have been some recent trends over the past decade which have made Indian art more highly sought after, and the success of the Indian Art Summit  is a reflection of these patterns.
There is a very long tradition of visual art in India, going back at least 9,000 years.  It is truly exciting when an event comes around to mark the great lineage and history of this rich cultural heritage, so that the Indian Art Summit is a chance to display the best of contemporary works, while examining its relation to a much larger and longer story.  To this end, there is the Speakers Forum, in which national and international artists and experts speak about the most relevant issues of the day.  Some of the most respected names in art practice and criticism participate, including: Arun Vadehra, Peter Nagy, Gayatri Singa, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Jitish Kallat, Melissa Chiu, and Nicolas Bourriaud.  This is a major event in the art world, held annually in Delhi.
