A small version of the festival, which began in 1999 is now a huge multicultural nine day event . It has since grown exponentially and draws approximately half a million people. The festival has not only grown in quantity but also in quality. The number of programs that KGAF hosts has grown to at least 400 plus programs each year. There are 100 Visual Arts installations displayed all over the arts district. There have been at least 30 venues that KGAF uses during the Festival - outdoor and indoor. Arguably KGAF is one of the largest multicultural fests of its kind in the world. The media loves to cover KGAF. International media has also covered the festival extensively. KGAF has 14 verticals- Cinema, Children’s Workshops, Dance, Food, Heritage Walks, Literature, Music, Standup Comedy, Street and Stalls, Theatre, Visual Arts, Urban Design & Architecture and Workshops for Adults. | |||||||||

Impact | The KGA festival this year has reached a new landmark of 25 years which is huge celebration to the city of Mumbai and its people who believed in our work. Our KGA festival this year has crossed over 300 programs spread across 14 verticals around the precinct of the Art District. The festival is spread across the Art district of Kala Ghoda hence the proximity of being near the venue is important to ensure seamless program on daily basis. The nine-day festival is open to all free for all, that gives artists and art enthusiasts a platform to reveal their talent and also educate themselves in the crowd. | |||||||||
