Mumbai Gallery Weekend (MGW) is a unique initiative that commenced in the year 2012 by leading contemporary art galleries of Mumbai. Its primary objective is to engage existing and potential collectors across industry, finance, media and high society and to broaden the reach and relevance of contemporary art. The Weekends feature an international level of art and conversation set within a diverse set of locations. MGW includes a range of events to pique the interest of everyone from the casual art gallery goer to the most committed of collectors. The host galleries will mount exhibitions, forming the backdrop against which a large program of ancillary events has been planned. The gallery exhibitions will include work by some of the leading names of artists associated with the contemporary art scene in South Asia. The artists themselves will lead walkthroughs of their exhibitions. The primary purpose of the Weekend is to offer a platform to bring together avid art appreciators, while providing the larger public greater exposure to contemporary art.
