The “All India Young Artists Exhibition 2026” is a national-level art exhibition organized by the Surendra Pal Joshi Kala Smriti Trust in memory of the renowned artist Late Surendra Pal Joshi. The exhibition aims to provide a prestigious platform for young and emerging artists from across India to present their artistic expressions and to encourage contemporary creative perspectives among youth.
Online entries are invited by the Trust from young artists between the ages of 18 and 35 from across the country. The first round of jury selection is conducted by eminent artists and art experts through evaluation of submitted artwork images and details. Selected artists are then invited to submit their original (physical) artworks for the final physical jury process, based on which the final selection and awards are decided.
This exhibition, supported by RICincludes the display of selected artworks, an award ceremony, and art interactions. Selected artists are honored with certificates, recognition, and cash awards.
This initiative not only celebrates creative talent but also serves as an important platform connecting young artists with senior artists, art critics, collectors, and art enthusiasts.
The objective of the “All India Young Artists Exhibition 2026” is to promote dialogue, sensitivity, cultural awareness, and the creative identity of the new generation through contemporary Indian art.
