The Art Loft concluded The Art Conspiracy last weekend in Bandra. The Art Conspiracy, an art festival that was conceptualized and executed by The Art Loft, came to an enigmatic finale on the evening of October 24, 2010 at Bandra Fort. The two-day weekend art festival, on October 23 & 24, 2010, was a unique and creative amalgamation of many kinds of art forms across 16 trendy venues in Bandra West, reaching out to a huge audience, with the aim of bringing art into their daily lives. The concept and line-up of events was centered on 'conspiracy' and witnessed a blend of all forms of art, be it dance, drama, music, fashion, live art or shows.
Featured artistes included Jehan Maneckshaw's Living Auditorium, Amar Mucchala and Jas Charanjiva's Musical Graffiti, Nikhil D'Souza and Ankur Tewari's Live Music. 10 conspiring actors puzzled a crowd in anticipation of a show at Bandra venue- Deja vu at Out of the Blue. Heeba Shah and her team performed ALL THIEVES PLAY- a medley of short stories. The Grand Finale at the Bandra Fort was written by Leila Tayebaly and choreographed by Veronica Simas D'Souza.
Spearheaded by Leila and Kevin Tayebaly, The Art Loft organizes and conducts creative workshops, exhibitions, featured events and conferences with the purpose of bringing together professionals and amateurs belonging to diverse backgrounds with a common love of art and creativity.
