I feel privileged and delighted that KCL has been a part of the Serendipity Arts Festival right from its inception, which has allowed me to attend all its editions so far. The festival offers a remarkable range of genres and activities that never fail to pleasantly surprise me with something new every time. This is particularly noteworthy given my extensive experience in the art world spanning over three decades, during which I have traveled widely and attended numerous festivals. Despite the challenges faced after two years, the festival was at par with the previous editions, with great crowds and visitors from all over India. I want to thank the SAF team for making it possible, and a special mention to the enthusiastic volunteers who made a huge contribution to the visitor experience. I hope to witness this grand celebration of arts for years to come." I highly recommend everyone to experience the festival at least once.

Working with the Serendipity Arts Festival has been an incredible experience for IST. As an early-stage start-up in Goa, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to collaborate and showcase our products to a wider audience. The deep consumer love and acceptance we received was heart-warming and encourages us to continue to innovate. We are grateful for the support of the festival team and look forward to continuing this partnership in the future.

The sound installation by Dutch artist, Edwin van der Heijden, showcased at the festival, was a truly unique experience. It made me aware of the power of sound and how it can convey meaning and tell a story. Walking through the HP sound installation was unlike any other art project I have seen in museums, galleries, and exhibitions. Edwin's creativity and ingenuity in transcending traditional art forms are truly reflected in this installation. I am proud that the Netherlands embassy supported this project as part of its cultural program, bringing Dutch and Indian artists together. I hope that visitors of the festival enjoy the experience of walking through this amazing sound installation.

I had a fantastic time at Serendipity Arts Festival 2022, thanks to the impressive art installations and the live music. The stage at Dona Paula was beautiful – with amazing performances! It was a pleasure to see such great quality being showcased, especially with a glass of my favourite The Source Grenache rosé wine in hand! Cannot wait to be a part of the next edition. Cheers!

Through this unique Science Gallery Bengaluru showcase, I want to project the mélange of the art and the science. While these two disciplines are seemingly distinct, they together embody significant creative expression. Serendipity Arts Festival is the ideal platform to showcase ‘Entanglement: Dance between Art & Science’ since this festival aims to break the notion of art as an isolated silo and creates space for interdisciplinary exploration of art across disciplines.
