Event Flow

This four-day festival is more than an exhibition – it is a movement to nurture art culture in Surat, bring world-class creativity to our city, and give space for local and global photographers, artists and citizens to engage with the transformative power of visual arts.

Join us as galleries come alive with images, music, painting, and conversations. Let’s celebrate Surat – The City of Happiness – through the lens of art and culture.
