The prominent galleries associated with the art show exhibited an amalgamation of unique experiences which were showcased under a diverse range of concepts. They highlighted the work of both established as well as budding artists.
Mumbai’s Cosmic Heart Gallery was one amongst 16 other international galleries at the Art Fair. A few other locations of the galleries included Argentina, France, Greece, Belgium and Bulgaria.
The theme of the Art Fair was ‘Legacies’ and it explored nearly half a century old Bahraini contemporary art scene and the foundation of this art culture in the rich heritage of the Kingdom.
