Streets and Walls Become a Living Canvas
Delhi’s much-loved street art and culture celebration, the Lodhi Art Festival, is set to return this February, transforming everyday streets and walls into a vibrant, open-air gallery. Organised by the St+Art India Foundation, the festival will take over the Lodhi Art District from 1st to 28th February 2026.
Celebrating 10 Years of Art in the Open
The 2026 edition marks 10 years of St+Art India Foundation’s work in the public realm, celebrating a decade of making art accessible beyond gallery walls. Over the years, the Lodhi Art District has evolved into one of India’s most recognisable open-air art museums, where public spaces become sites of creativity, dialogue, and shared cultural experience.
Art, Culture, and Community Engagement
Throughout the month-long festival, visitors can expect a dynamic programme featuring live graffiti sessions, workshops, and music performances. These interactive elements invite audiences not just to observe, but to participate—strengthening the festival’s role as a platform for community engagement and creative exchange.
A Festival That Redefines Urban Experience
By turning an entire neighbourhood into a living canvas, the Lodhi Art Festival reimagines how art exists within the city. Murals, performances, and workshops collectively blur the boundaries between artist and audience, reinforcing the idea that art in public spaces can shape how cities are seen, felt, and lived in.
