VIP Experience

A VIP Ticket Includes:

• A VIP ticket gives visitors multiple access entry to all ticketed days of the fair.
• The ticket also allows guests to visit one day before general admission begins, offering early access to all the artworks on display, a more intimate experience to connect with the art, artists and gallerists.
• VIP ticket buyers also have access to all live programming happening on the VIP only day. This includes 3 Speaker Series, a book launch and live music:
  • A talk with Lydia Yee, Manuel Rabaté and Dr. Deepanjana Klein about the different ways in which art institutions can scale sustainably
  • A discussion about the legalities of buying and dealing in art, with Punya Nagpal and Kirti Balasubramanian
  • A conversation with Javed Akhtar and Baaraan Ijlal about the act of translating art from one medium to another, moderated by Ranjit Hoskote
  • A book launch for My Tyebi: A Memoir about legendary Indian modernist, told through the voice of his wife, Sakina Tyeb Mehta. Sakina Tyeb Mehta, Nusrat F Jafri, the author of My Tyebi, member of the Tyeb Mehta Foundation and actor Shabana Azmi will inaugurate the book
  • A music performance by Madboy / Mink, whose genre-defying sound draws from electronics, soul, cabaret-punk, and old Indian film music
  • Interactive workshops hosted by the Kiran Nadar Museum of Arts, including a soft sculptures workshop led by artist Gurjeet Singh.
  • A live dance performance that interweaves Bharatanatyam, waacking, contemporary dance, and hip-hop
• VIP ticket holders may also enter the fair through an exclusive entrance, allowing them to bypass both pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
• A VIP ticket comes with one complimentary guided walk by Art and Wonderment, a sellout program that takes visitors through the highlights of the fair—from gallery booths to private collections and the stories behind them.
• VIP ticket buyers also have access to the VIP-exclusive Birla Opus Lounge, a quiet, air-conditioned space to rest and recharge in between gallery visits. The lounge also hosts VIP-exclusive programming during the fair.
• The VIP ticket also brings with it access to late nights at the fair.
