Art is Life 2026

Entry to the festival is free for all and registration is only required for select events.

Marking an event on your calendar is only a personal reminder and does not reserve a seat. For events that require registration, you must complete the registration process separately, and entry is subject to venue capacity on a first-come, first-served basis.

If an event reaches full capacity, registrations will close. While we don’t maintain a waitlist, spots may occasionally open up due to cancellations. We recommend arriving early and checking in on-site, as entry may be possible in case of no-shows.

Unfortunately, we are already full! But please keep in touch, and we would love to involve you in future events.

Registration is only needed for workshops. You will receive a confirmation email after registering. If you don’t receive it, please check your spam folder or contact us at artislife@map-india.org
