All India Annual Art Exhibition 2025 – Mumbai

Every year, the All India Annual Art Exhibition, hosted by the Bombay Art Society, invites art enthusiasts, critics, and collectors to one of the oldest continuous art showcases in India. The 133rd edition, held from March 11–17 at the iconic Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai, continues this tradition strong—pairing reverence for history with a curatorial eye toward the future.

Over 300 artworks grace four gallery halls, spanning mediums as diverse as oil and watercolor painting, sculpture, mixed-media assemblages, and innovative digital techniques. Each piece is meticulously selected through a juried process, ensuring a balanced representation of established masters and emerging talent from all corners of India.

What sets this edition apart is its emphasis on regional diversity and thematic curation. You’ll find classical landscapes, expressive portraits, and narratives inspired by rural traditions sitting alongside contemporary statements addressing climate, gender, identity, and urbanization. This careful interplay between convention and experimentation invites dialogue about evolving art values in modern India.

For visitors, the exhibition offers more than just viewing—it offers engagement. Live demonstration booths feature working artists guiding viewers through brush techniques, while curator-led tours and artist meet-and-greets add layers of context and connection.

A highlight this year is the recognition of award-winning artists across categories—from established figures receiving lifetime achievement honors to promising students acknowledged for their fresh vision. These awardees often become compelling subjects for profiles, interviews, or deeper features in art-focused blogs and magazines.

Beyond the walls of Jehangir, the Bombay Art Society extends its cultural outreach through public art walks, school workshops, and interactive panel discussions, reinforcing the exhibition’s role as a community catalyst.

Whether you’re a casual art admirer, a serious collector, or a cultural storyteller, the All India Annual Art Exhibition 2025 is a treasure trove of inspiration. It’s where heritage and experimentation meet, offering a snapshot of India’s multifaceted artistic landscape.
