Boman Irani: Art can calm you, excite you, and make you do better things in life

Actor Boman Irani inaugurated the group exhibition 'To Be Continued…' at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery in Mumbai. Featuring nearly 70 works ranging from scrap metal sculptures to 3D canvases, the show brings together a diverse group of emerging and established artists. During the event, Irani engaged personally with the participants, emphasizing the role of galleries as essential spaces for creative inspiration and human development.

This event highlights the intersection of celebrity patronage and the local Indian art scene, specifically within the historic context of the Jehangir Art Gallery. Irani’s advocacy for art education and his appeal to parents to prioritize gallery visits over commercial entertainment reflects a broader push to cultivate new audiences and support the visibility of contemporary artists in Mumbai’s cultural landscape.
