Our belief is that arts must be nurtured and promoted because they enrich people and communities and are critical to shaping the future of our society.

We are committed to providing a platform that allows public access to the experience of art in India, and it is with this aim that Apeejay Trust funded the Delhi Photo Festival, 2011

An initiative of the India Habitat Centre and the Nazar Foundation, the Delhi Photo Festival was the first of its kind in the country and brought photography into the public realm. The central attraction of the Festival were a number of photography exhibitions, spread across the open spaces and indoor galleries of the India Habitat Centre. The Festival showcased a carefully curated mix of photography from India and Asia and other international bodies.

Over 70 photographers exhibited their works in the print and digital exhibitions of the Festival. Being a non-commercial venture, with free entry for everybody, the Photo Festival ensured popular and wide-reaching participation.
