Where every brushstroke becomes a prayer.
Where art turns into a doorway to the divine.

Indian Folk Art Corridor invites artists for DEVA — a sacred confluence dedicated to Indian folk, tribal and traditional arts.
This is for artists who don’t just paint to show… but paint to invoke.

DEVA is not an exhibition.
It’s a return to source.
It’s a spiritual remembrance of Bharat’s roots — where motifs are mantras, colours are invocations, and every line carries the vibration of centuries of devotion.

THEME:

“DEVA — The Divine Colours of India”
Invoke the Deva-tattva within.
Express stories, deities, rituals, festivals, oral traditions, sacred symbols, cosmic geometry — all that preserves the soul of our land.

Who Can Apply

• Folk / Tribal / Traditional Indian artists
• Artisans rooted in indigenous practices
• Emerging + established artists with spiritual intentionality

If your art is born from bhava, shraddha, sadhana — this is your arena.

Exhibition Details:

Title: SWADESH
Venue: Dubai International Art Centre
Opening: 19 December onward

Become part of a movement — not just a show.
Let the world witness the divine pulse of India through your hands.

Apply. Exhibit. Preserve the Deva in Desh.
