Strengthening the cultural ecosystem in Bengaluru
The arts publication Bengaluru has always needed.
Bengaluru makes extraordinary art. ArtsKonnect documents it — reported, edited, and published with a point of view.
We are a print and digital magazine covering the performing and visual arts across India. Now in our fourth edition, we reach readers across Bengaluru, Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, Dubai, the UK, and the US — in print, online, and through ArtsKonnect Buzz, our WhatsApp news channel for daily arts coverage.
Our audience is specific and serious. Practitioners, curators, funders, institutions, and enthusiasts who care deeply about whether the arts survive and thrive. They read slowly. They share what matters. They act on what they trust.
Each edition is built around a single editorial spine — not a theme chosen for convenience, but a question worth spending thirty pages on. We cover what artists are building, what institutions are enabling or failing, and what the ecosystem needs to sustain the people at its centre. Our writers know these rooms from the inside. Our standard is simple: write about the arts the way the arts deserve to be written about.
This is not a platform that celebrates everything. It is a publication that takes the arts seriously — and invites you to do the same.
