For its second edition, IAF EDI+IONS launches in Ahmedabad, celebrating the city’s dynamic legacy of art, design and architecture

Following the success of its inaugural Hyderabad edition last year, India Art Fair brings the second edition of IAF EDI+IONS to Ahmedabad, taking place on 19-20 September 2026 at The Baronet House (Sanjay MS Raval Skill Centre).

IAF EDI+IONS Ahmedabad brings together 18 participants, including 4 Ahmedabad-based galleries, spotlighting the city’s distinctive artistic ecosystem alongside leading voices in modern and contemporary art and design from across India.

Jaya Asokan, Fair Director, India Art Fair, said: “After an incredibly encouraging first edition in Hyderabad, we are excited to bring IAF EDI+IONS to Ahmedabad and continue building a format that responds to the distinct cultural character of each city it enters. Ahmedabad has long held an extraordinary place within India’s cultural landscape shaped by generations of artists, architects, designers, craftspeople, collectors and patrons who have championed experimentation and new ideas. With this edition, we want to celebrate that legacy while creating new connections between the city’s creative community and voices from across the country. At its heart, EDI+IONS is about bringing people together around art and culture, strengthening regional ecosystems and creating meaningful opportunities for exchange beyond our annual fair in Delhi.”

Hardeep Singh Brar, President and CEO, BMW Group India, comments: “BMW Group India is delighted to continue its partnership with India Art Fair as the Presenting Partner of India Art Fair EDI+IONS Ahmedabad. As this travelling format expands to new cities, it reflects our shared commitment to fostering meaningful cultural exchange and creating new opportunities for audiences to engage with modern and contemporary art and design. Ahmedabad, with its rich artistic and architectural heritage, spirit of craftsmanship, and culture of innovation, provides a compelling setting for this next chapter. Through our continued collaboration, we remain committed to supporting creative dialogue, exchange, and the ideas shaping the future of culture in India and South Asia.”
