Behala Art Festival of Kolkata | Season 5 | কলকাতার গলিতে আর্ট ফেস্ট | Wall Art |

The Behala Art Fest — the only event in Kolkata named after a neighborhood to make art accessible to common people.

Housed at Behala 14 No Bus Stand with adjuscent streets and lanes showcasing the unique open air Art festival. This event started in 2020 and this is 5th year of the presentation.

It aimed to drag ART out of galleries onto the streets to make it accessible to people who would otherwise never imagine stepping into the hallowed halls where it is usually displayed. Began on Friday (Dec 20, 2024 and closed on 22nd Dec 2024), completing five years with this edition and more popular than ever. The show was for public, in the real sense of the word, displays were located in places such as buildings, garages, shops. streets, parking lots, and rickshaw stands. This is the only art festival that happens in the public realm, bringing together visual artists, performance artists filmmakers, photographers and social art practitioners on the same platform. This year many artists interacted with the people of Behala and that excited the locals because they saw themselves as part of the fest and not just providers of space. When people from the locality become part of the process and act as collaborators, the event automatically becomes inclusive and the excitement increases.

Artists came from several countries, including India, Japan, Netherlands, Bangladesh and Denmark.
