Overview

St+art creates public art projects through art districts, experiential exhibitions and installations contributing to the urban regeneration and to community living across India. Its aim is to make art accessible to a wider audience by taking it out of the conventional gallery space and embedding it within the cities we live in. Since 2014, with the constant support of Asian Paints, St+art has spearheaded Urban Art projects across 20 cities by bringing together multiple voices such as regional government bodies, foreign cultural institutions and street artists. These projects activate otherwise neglected spaces through art and cultural activities, thus enabling the citizens to reimagine how public spaces can be utilised. St+art has so far established art districts in the cities of Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Hyderabad, Goa and Coimbatore. Each representing the contemporary face of India, these districts have been realised under the vision of India's Smart Cities Mission. Within its framework, the foundation also provides a platform for education and social awareness through a range of curated workshops, tours and community engagement activities.
