A group exhibition titled 'Next/Now' will open in New Delhi on 29 May 2026, organized by ARTIndia Magazine and Vadehra Art Gallery. The show features 30 emerging artists selected from ARTIndia's '30 Under 30' list, working across painting, sculpture, installation, photography, and mixed media. The opening coincides with Defence Colony Gallery Night, and partial proceeds will support the ARTIndia Care Fund, which provides medical care for young artists.
The exhibition highlights the growing visibility of a new generation of Indian contemporary artists, reflecting themes of identity, memory, technology, and social realities. By combining a curated showcase with a fundraising component for artist healthcare, 'Next/Now' underscores broader conversations about sustainability and support systems in the arts ecosystem. The collaboration between a major art magazine and an established gallery also signals the increasing institutional backing for emerging practitioners in India.
