Lodhi Art District
As part of St+art Delhi 2016, the Foundation worked in close collaboration with CPWD to re-invigorate the walls between Khanna Market and Meherchand Market, and convert Lodhi Colony into India’s first Public Art District. The aim of the project was to work closely with government bodies and the community of Lodhi Colony to create art works in public spaces. By the end of the project in 2016, 23 murals were added to the area. Today, with 56+ artworks, the colony is widely recognized as the first open-air art district of the country and the reception received by it in terms of footfall, the number of tours and walks being organised, photo and video shoots taking place, and an increased sense of community pride amongst its inhabitants encourages us to build on the district every year.
