Mumbai Urban Art Festival - Sassoon Dock Project - Tourist attraction in Mumbai - Mumbai, India

What an incredible art festival it was !!!! The paintings on the wall was super amazing. Every minute details of was covered in the art festival right from under construction mumbai metro, under construction buildings, temples, mosques and church. A house with plastic roof and black water drum on the roof. Hats off to the artist's. This art was totally incredible.

I visited here with few of my friends recently. Discovered very interesting arts. They are amazing Very good experience, Thank you!!

The festival has taken over the city with exhibits, art installations, and murals by national as well as international artists, from Mahim East and Bandra, to Churchgate Station and Jindal Mansion. This year, it is also brought in collaboration with the Mumbai Port Trust (MbPA) to commemorate the 150th anniversary of one of Mumbai's oldest docks, the Sassoon Dock in Colaba. Speaking of the importance of Sassoon Dock for the festival, co-founder and artistic director of St+Art India, Hanif Kureshi, says, "A festival like this, especially in partnership with the Mumbai Port Trust can unlock venues that people hardly visit, just like Sassoon Dock, which has been a part of Mumbai's platforms on which the city is built--the fishing communities. But not many people, even those who live around it, visit it. Sassoon Docks has had this age-old problem of a fishy smell because it's a fishing dock. Eight thousand residents around the dock signed a petition to get rid of the smell. Most of them have never even been to the docks. But once the festival was on, the intensity of the smell has lowered and it has made a lot of these residents come to the dock to see it; they feel proud that something like this is happening in their area."

An amazing art festival put up at sasoon dock. Quite an experience. The art work presented by various artists is incredible. Great job by Asia paints and Mumbai city. The art work depicts the life of local fisher men and their way of like. Takes you back in time. The colourful artwork on the walls is a treat to the eyes.

The Urban Art Festival was a mesmerizing display of all kinds of art. A heaven for art lovers and enthusiasts. It's also free of cost. Give it a visit if you are in Mumbai in Jan-Feb. Worth the time. We went on a weekday and thus it was not crowded. Expect weekends to be crowded.

It is not as great as the fuss on social media. The organisation was not great for one thing, most art pieces weren't explained well on the right spots, there were loooong queues for no real reason whatsoever. It could have been much better. They could have charged for tickets and arranged better facilities. It was free but we need to register online and they put a stamp on your hand before. But after you reach the gate only you can see the QR code, which is ages later.

A colorful visit to this awesome place will make your day. An tribute to art in all the way actually give you amazing feeling. Do check pics of this year's 2023.

Extremely amazing artwork. Recommended to visit if you love and understand art. Don't visit on weekends because there's a lot of rush. If you're really passionate about art and want to experience it properly, pls visit on weekdays. 3 stars coz my experience wasn't really satisfying due to huge rush and suffocation due to it.
