Established in 2017, Mumbai -based farming art aims to bridge the gap between young art collectors and artists. His latest art exhibition, Young Collectors Weekend Global, first arrives in Bengaluru. The show will be launched on 22 May, and the works of 18 emerging artists will be introduced for art lovers in the city.
Farah Siddiqui, the founder of the art of farming, says, “Young Collectors Weekend Global is not a traditional group show cured on a particular subject.” “This is a amalgamation of art, where we consciously bring among different artists, whose works are very different from each other. Visitors can expect textiles and ceramic art, sculptures in terracotta and clay, as well as water color and other paintings.” ,

The exhibition will include a walk and a panel discussion directed with art collectors, Manju Sara Rajan, Abhinat Khanna and Arjun Aggarwal on 23 May. “They are collectors with all different approaches and will be interesting to see their views about their personal engagement with arts and culture.”
Started in 2020, the young collector weekend global was hosted earlier in Delhi and Mumbai. “This year, we wanted to bring it to Bangalore because in the south have our own cultural sensitivity through our dance, theater and music forms. Many of our best artists are from South and we wanted this curse to help us understand collectors and artists in this city.”
The art of farming was established in 2017, Farah says, with a mission to discover talented artists and exposed them to new audiences through both online and offline initiatives to expand their reach.
With this new permanent location inside the abstract art gallery, Farah is expected to bring more cursors to the city this year.
Young Collectors Weekend Global is on the Attract Art Gallery, Cunningham Road from 22 May to 5 June. Entry free. For more information, call 9820602823 or follow Culturaltartglobal on social media.
