We began as a solo woman-led platform to create a visual diary for you of all our favourite museums, galleries & exhibitions
We grew and adapted!
With a compact team in place AF launched India’s first fully virtual Digital Art Guide just for you and hosted the first virtual, multidisciplinary AF Weekender
We began the AF Student Ambassador Programme to reach out to you, hosted an all-India art weekender across 14 cities parallelly and hit 25k followers on Instagram!
We’re here!
We’re about to turn 4 and have grown into an eleven-person, nationwide, dynamic team of art lovers
What’s
We are India’s first independent visual arts discovery platform that specialises in creating user-friendly experiences to make the arts accessible to you.
We envision a future where the arts are a part of your everyday life. That’s why we’ve created a centralised platform as your one-stop guide for an experience that connects you to the art world with the click of a button!
As a young woman-led art-tech startup, we have consciously diversified our outlook to go beyond the visual arts and focus on the broader creative ecosystem, and have organically evolved into operating as a South Asian arts and culture consultancy working at the intersection of creativity and technology.
