Murals are life of streets and this is what makes Lodhi Art District a perfect spot for a fun walk on a pleasant day in Delhi. It doesn’t matter if you are an art junkie or not, you would fall in love with the streets there.

St+Art India Foundation, a non-profit organization has been working tirelessly to make street art popular in Delhi. They are working since 2015 and since then they have expanded to other cities of India.

They have partnered with CPWD, NDMC, RWA of Lodhi Colony, Swachh Bharat Mission and Asian Paints to make Lodhi Art District a success. They bring several local and international artists to make murals on the walls of Lodhi Colony.

Lodhi Colony is a government owned residential district of Central Delhi. Artists transform dull walls of these buildings into a walk in museum. Every year the residential district also hosts Lodhi Street Art Festival.

This is how slowly and steadily India’s first Open Art Museum was born in heart of Delhi.
