Nearly 1,500 artists to participate in Goa art festival

Nearly 1,500 Indian and international artists are lined up to participate in the state's biggest multi-disciplinary art gala, the Serendipity Arts Festival which will get underway at 12 different venues across Goa from December 15, organisers of the event said on Tuesday.

The eight-day festival which will showcase 100 dynamic projects showcasing visual, performing and culinary arts projects across the state capital, is also expected to unveil slices of yet-undisplayed Goan art.

"I am particularly excited to see projects like Mundo Goa and Goa Familia, which explore facets of Goan art that have never been displayed in the state before," patron of the festival Swati Salgaocar said.

"The festival will transform the city into a vibrant cultural space with multiple exhibitions, performances and immersive arts experiences involving over 1,500 regional and international artists," Salgaocar further informed.

"Fourth edition of the festival hopes to bring many diverse voices to the fore," Smriti Ramgarhia director of Serendipity Arts Foundation and festival said.
