TAC Festival 2025 promises to be Delhi’s most electrifying celebration of creative freedom, transforming The Art Curry Compound in Saket into a playground where artists, makers, and art lovers converge for two days of pure imagination and experimentation. Held on November 1st and 2nd 2025 and co-presented by Pinterest, the festival invites everyone, from seasoned creatives to first-timers, to step beyond the traditional gallery, join in hands-on workshops, and discover art in its most accessible and chaotic forms.
With interactive installations, high-energy music performances, collaborative projects, and a bustling market of independent artists, TAC Festival is redefining what it means to experience and participate in contemporary art.
