EDITION 5.0
27th January - 3rd February, 2026
Jaipur Art Week
Set against the backdrop of Jaipur, globally recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage City, the Public Arts Trust of India (PATI) proudly announces Jaipur Art Week: Edition 5.0, a vibrant celebration of contemporary arts, creativity, and cultural dialogue. Conceived as the heart and soul of PATI’s Founding Chairwoman, visionary arts entrepreneur Sana Rezwan, Jaipur Art Week continues its mission of bridging the city’s timeless heritage with the evolving fabric of contemporary artistic practice.
Since its inception, Jaipur Art Week has grown to become a globally recognised incubator for early- and mid-career artists, nurturing experimentation and amplifying diverse voices. Anchored in an artist-first ethos, the Week embraces a co-curated model through an Open Call, inviting fresh perspectives while remaining deeply rooted in Rajasthan’s cultural spirit.
Building on the success of the previous Edition, 5.0, Jaipur Art Week’s commitment to putting the artist first. With 450+ global proposals received through its international Open Call and 600+ artists supported via free Proposal Writing Workshops, the upcoming edition will invite audiences to engage with the emotional, political, and cultural landscapes of our time across Jaipur’s historic venues.
The final selection of artists was made by a distinguished jury of international arts professionals - Anita Dube, Renu Modi, Wood & Harrison, and Aindrea Emelife. Selected artists now benefit from mentorship by leading practitioners, including Vibha Galhotra, Gigi Scaria, Thukral & Tagra, and Shuddhabrata Sengupta. Together, this ecosystem empowers artists to create ambitious, site-specific works that bring contemporary art ever closer to the community.
Edition 5.0 will further strengthen Jaipur Art Week’s platform by welcoming leading national and international galleries and institutions. Through their artists, these collaborators will transform the Pink City into a stage for bold and boundary-pushing works.
Through dynamic partnerships with government bodies and iconic public venues, Jaipur Art Week continues to democratise art, champion accessibility, and cement Jaipur’s place as a beacon of cultural innovation on the world stage. For audiences, this is an unprecedented opportunity to experience world-class contemporary art across Jaipur’s historic landmarks and public spaces.
