London-based arts non-profit The Arts Family (TAF) will present a curated showcase of award-winning contemporary artists from the TAF Emerging Artist Award – South Asia 2025 at the India Art Fair 2026, held from 5th to 8th February at the NSIC Exhibition Grounds in New Delhi. The presentation, located in the fair’s Institutional Section at Booth M-04, features winners including Deena Pindoria (1st winner), Ritika Sharma and Akshay Bhoan (2nd winners), Mohit Shelare (3rd winner), and Deshna Shah (Special Mention). Deshna Shah will also have a solo exhibition at Nature Morte in April 2026.
This participation matters because it underscores TAF’s growing role as a key platform for emerging South Asian artists, providing institutional visibility, international exposure, and long-term professional development. By integrating award winners into a major international art fair, TAF helps bridge the gap between regional talent and global audiences, reinforcing the importance of sustained support structures for contemporary art from South Asia.
