Art Mumbai 2023: Mumbai’s first-ever Art Fair invites audiences to engage with art like never before
Art has always been restricted to the elite, seen as a hobby for wealthy patrons, mansion owners and kings. Art Mumbai 2023 is set to change this view: recognising that art is meant for everyone, Mumbai’s first-ever art fair makes it more accessible to the masses than ever before. It is no surprise that Mahalaxmi Race Course—home to the most iconic events in India, and a favourite of Mumbaikars—is playing host to the event, taking place from 16 November to 19 November. Showcasing nearly 2,000 artworks from 300 artists and with a whopping 53 participating galleries from the world over, Art Mumbai 2023 is an immersive experience that captures meaningful conversations around modern culture and contemporary art from South Asia. Shares Conor Macklin, director of London’s Grosvenor Gallery and co-founder of Art Mumbai, “I am very excited about seeing the young artists and art students coming to the Art Mumbai fair and seeing the best of contemporary art from India as well as the Masters. “I am very excited about seeing the young artists and art students coming to the Art Mumbai fair and seeing the best of contemporary art from India as well as the Masters. In a fair, unlike in a museum, everything is accessible and for sale, so you can get up close and really engage. It is especially going to be a thrill for those who have never experienced an art fair such as this.”
Three passionate Lancaster based freelance artists, Hannah Corbett, Lidia Ranns, and Julie Evans, are uniting their creative forces to transform the city into a vibrant hub of artistic expression with the expanded Lancaster Art Fair (LAF), running from August 19th to 23rd, 2025.
This year, LAF is evolving into a larger, city wide festival, thanks to their dedicated collaboration and partnerships with established local arts organisations.

On the plane back from Miami, I add up expenses versus income from this year’s Untitled Art Fair. It is our third year here, and our first bust. As a small Midwestern gallery, two major art fairs a year — Untitled in Miami and the Outsider Art Fair in New York — can generate a quarter of our annual income. Even more importantly, they help us develop a national collector base for regional artists. There is no other way to survive.
It is expensive to participate in more selective and carefully curated international fairs, such as Untitled. Our three-walled, 14 x 14-foot space cost $17,400. Housing for the staff, transportation, food, and additional framing rounded out the total to about $30,000.
