Hyderabad is set to experience a vibrant celebration of contemporary art with the launch of Hyderabad Art Week (HAW), scheduled from October 26 to November 1.

Beyond gallery walls, HAW extends into the city with gallery circuits, open studio visits, and partnerships with institutions like the Salar Jung Museum.
