Teams behind the Art Fest
The creative spirit of Bharat in young artists & art enthusiasts.
AVOM Bharat is a cultural and creative platform working to promote a Bharat-centric vision among youth through art, while building a strong ecosystem for artists and young creators. We bring together performers, musicians, designers, filmmakers, writers, dancers and creators from every field to shape a bold, modern Bharat narrative.
Through talks, workshops, performances, screenings, festivals and collaborative initiatives, AVOM Bharat creates platforms for exposure, interaction, learning and meaningful engagement — presenting Bharat’s artistic, cultural and creative traditions in a contemporary context.
Uniting youth artists & art enthusiasts across Bharat
Celebrating Bharat-rooted expression in every art form
Offering platforms, guidance & a lasting community
Instilling pride in Bharat’s rich heritage, art & culture
Our aim: to turn youth-led creativity into the next cultural trend of Bharat.
Why we started
Empowering youth artists to stay rooted while thinking globally — channelling youth energy into meaningful, art-driven change that carries the culture and art of Bharat.
Developing a Bharat-centric ecosystem focusing on youth through art.
A Bharat-centric vision in art means aligning the artist’s thought process towards Bharat’s history, heritage, values & culture in the present modern context.
Providing support, community & a platform to artists already aligned with our Bharat-centric vision.
By sharing the importance of our history, heritage & culture in today’s modern context, and instilling pride for the same.
By discussing what is right, what is wrong and why — its impact on the masses and the ethical responsibility of the artist.
By showing the benefit of aligning the artist’s thought process with Bharat’s history, heritage, values & culture today.
Let’s shape Bharat’s new cultural direction.
What we do
Six activities that carry the Bharat-centric vision from a single festival into schools, studios, screens and research.
Industry experts from film, fashion and more, speaking on subjects that bring out a Bharat-centric view.
Long-form conversations with artists whose practice already carries the Bharat-centric vision forward.
Aligned artists leading talks and workshops in schools, colleges and coaching centres for young creators.
Studying the global reach of Bharat’s art forms and heritage, and answering false narratives with facts.
A yearly fest of talks, events, showcases and workshops that builds community and spreads the vision wide.
Promoting the vision online and bringing influencers and digital creators into the same conversation.
Our purpose: restore Bharat’s soul in today’s creative world.
Every stroke carries a meaning
The coil shows Bharat’s inner creative power. Through youth, “Bharat ka Kundalini Chakra hum jaagrat karenge.”
Calm, clarity and focus — a positive vibration in the community.
The artist’s bold stroke: movement, passion and flow.
Breaking boundaries, new ideas, new direction and out-of-the-box thinking.
Red stands for Shakti, passion and action.
A logo that carries the energy of Modern Bharat.
If it’s creative, it belongs here.
The flagship annual property
The AVOM Bharat Art Fest aims to become Central India’s largest multidisciplinary celebration of art, culture, creativity, innovation and youth expression — bringing artists, designers, performers, filmmakers, writers, students, institutions, NGOs, industry leaders and the public onto a single platform.
Indore is the host city, but the outlook is pan-India. Open calls, competitions, artist stalls, installations and films invite entries from across the country, bringing creators from every region to Central India.

Central India’s biggest art fest · Hosted in Indore, open to all of Bharat
Across the venue
A free public stage for three days, a digital zone for all ages and student installations that turn the mall into public art.
Free for public
A dedicated stage for emerging and established performers, celebrating India’s traditions alongside contemporary performing arts.
Open-stage acts need approval from the management team and a booked time slot — see the Open Stage.
Student teams
Student teams from colleges and universities design and build large-scale, site-specific installations across the venue. Materials for selected installations are supported by the festival.
The result is an immersive public art experience — and a chance for students to execute professional-scale work under the guidance of artists and curators.
Digital zone
Pan-India open calls
Open calls before the festival let emerging and established creators put their work before an expert jury and a large public. Selected entries are exhibited or screened, and winners are recognised with awards and certificates at the closing ceremony.
More categories may be added based on the festival theme and participation.
Learn from experts
Led by accomplished artists, designers, filmmakers, photographers, theatre practitioners and traditional artisans — for beginners and professionals alike.
Giving back
Selected NGOs and social enterprises producing handicrafts, handmade and sustainable products and community-based creative work receive exhibition stalls free of cost — a platform to market their products, generate income, raise awareness and meet potential supporters.
The festival also encourages collaboration between artists and NGOs through creative initiatives and community engagement.
Indicative planning estimates
City-level and pan-India audience mobilisation, on top of the existing visitor base of Phoenix Citadel.
1.2 Lakh+
Gross visitor exposure
2.5–4M+
Unique digital reach

Social media impressions
| Planning component | Indicative projection |
|---|---|
| AVOM / festival-driven visitors | 20,000 – 30,000 across three days |
| Estimated Phoenix Citadel visitor traffic | 60,000 – 90,000 across Friday–Sunday |
| Gross potential visitor exposure | Approx. 80,000 – 1,20,000+ |
The 80k–1.2 lakh figure is potential gross visitor exposure, not unique attendance — festival-driven visitors and regular mall visitors may overlap. Digital projections exclude the combined follower base of proposed celebrity guests; reach may grow substantially once they confirm and promote.
