The open art gallery on K Dubash Marg at Kala Ghoda is geared up for its second event on November 26. The theme decided by the Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation (MTDC) and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is 'Peace', on the occasion of the ninth anniversary of 26/11 Mumbai's terror attacks.

In its second innings, the street will have 30 stalls for artists instead of 21. "For the November 26 event, the civic body and the MTDC have got an overwhelming response and all the stalls are booked by artists. The theme is 'Peace' and we are giving preferences to performing artists than exhibitions," said Swati Kale, General Manager of MTDC.

This Sunday, of the 30 stalls, 10 are for Bollywood theme performers, five stalls for Kolbat Art based on the 26/11 theme, and the remaining stalls for Warli and Mandali art, spray painting, jewellery art, and street magic.

The 250-metre long open gallery has 21 stalls of 15x15 foot each, rented at Rs 200 per day, giving the city's upcoming artists a prime platform to showcase their work. The art street will remain open from 11 am to 6 pm every Sunday till May 2018.
