1 SERENDIPITY ARTS FESTIVAL, GOA, INDIA
DECEMBER 15-22, 2024
Since the fairly recent launch of the Serendipity Arts Festival (SAF) in 2016, it has firmly established itself as one of the most sought-after arts initiatives in the South Asian region. Held every year in the sunny state of Goa, the multidisciplinary festival celebrates visual, performing, and culinary arts, as well as film, literature, fashion, and live arts across Panjim. The picturesque setting is ideal for setting up multiple venues, especially outdoor stages and black boxes. During the week of the festival, there are many educational initiatives, workshops, special projects and institutional engagements to ensure that a range of collaborative engagements take root. The idea is to promote dialogue between the artistic community and patrons, so that art can become more visible and accessible. serendipityarts.org
