“Art & Bali is being built as a meeting point for artists, galleries, collectors, and audiences. This year, the lihe lineup reflects the fair’s deliberate boutique approach. We want it to grow through the quality of the work presented, the strength of the conversations around it, and the relationships that come from it, rather than through scale alone. Nuanu gives us the space and cultural infrastructure to do this properly, across exhibitions, public programs, and collector experiences, while strengthening Bali’s place as a destination for art, design, and culture,” said Kelsang Dolma, Director, Art & Bali by Nuanu Creative City.

Under the direction of Lead Curator Bandana Tewari and Assistant Curator Brina Paska, the exhibition features 26 Indonesian and Indian artists, designers, and studios working in the fields of contemporary art, fashion, textiles, craft, design, and material culture.

The exhibition, which is organized around the curatorial frameworks Hand as Archive and Routes of Exchange, investigates the ways in which memory and cultural knowledge are transmitted through touch, ritual, repetition, apprenticeship, inherited techniques, and the transfer of materials between individuals and locations.

Participating artists, designers, and studios are the following: A. Sebastianus, Indonesia; Amit Aggarwal, India; Ayni, Indonesia; Bibhu Mohapatra, India; Chanakya School, India; Cinta Bumi Artisans, Indonesia; DIBBA, Indonesia; Eleven Eleven/11.11, India; Gaurav Gupta, India; Good Earth, India; Hiddenland Artistry, India; iyonono, Indonesia; Kita Bisa Design, Indonesia; LULU LUTFI LABIBI, Indonesia; Moriidesign, India; Pagi Motley, Bali, Indonesia; Princess Pea, India; Raw Mango, India; re-ceremonial, India; Sakde Oka, Indonesia; Sarita Ibnoe, Bali, Indonesia; Setia Cap Cili, Bali, Indonesia; STUDIO JEJE, Indonesia; TANGAN Privé, Indonesia; Tex Saverio, Indonesia; and TOTON, Indonesia.

The exhibition explores the hand as a site of memory, discipline, inheritance, and transformation in the context of couture, embroidery, weaving, botanical dyeing, slow fashion, ritual, material research, women-led artisan networks, and community-based production. From Balinese and Indonesian textile practices to Indian couture, embroidery, and slow fashion, the focus on Indonesia and India brings related traditions of craft and material knowledge into conversation.

Art & Bali explores the connections between local practice and global exchange, tradition and experimentation, and art and commerce under the theme Bridging Dichotomies. The exhibitor presentations serve as the focal point of a larger program that includes public discussions, exhibitions, installations, design, craft, and performances throughout Nuanu Creative City.

The production of Art & Bali incorporates sustainability. In order to reduce construction waste and prolong the life of the materials, HMR panels from the 2025 edition are being repurposed for this year's booths. It serves as a real-world illustration of how Indonesian art fairs can handle temporary infrastructure more sensibly.

Along with designers, architects, cultural practitioners, hospitality leaders, locals, and foreign guests, the fair welcomes collectors and art professionals. This larger audience enables participating artists and exhibitors to connect with people who might not typically see their work at a traditional art fair.

Art & Bali aims to improve ties between the island, Indonesia's broader art scene, and the global cultural community as Bali's creative community expands. The fair helps artists and galleries reach new audiences, build connections with collectors, and support the expansion of the local art market.

Nuanu Creative City in Bali will host Art & Bali 2026 from September 11–13, 2026. What the Body Remembers, the annual flagship exhibition, will be on display at Labyrinth Art Gallery through November 29, 2026.
