HeartWorks 2026 was conceived as a circle of giving—where artists and patrons came together to support a wide range of causes. HeartWorks was not just an exploration of art; it allowed us to find the ‘art’ within ‘heart’, and to express, give, and transform.

The live exhibition in partnership with IF.BE and IRAM Art was curated by Satyajit Dave and presented works by 75+ talented artists. The proceeds from each purchase went towards supporting 11 women-led NGOs that empowered children’s and seniors’ welfare, women’s empowerment, animal protection, rural development, and environmental care.

The live exhibition also showcased the India debut of NEW DAWN II, an interactive mural by the creative duo of Howareyoufeeling.studio, Doyel Joshi, and Neil Ghose Balser, in collaboration with Grammy-nominated artist Anoushka Shankar.

Founded by Falguni Sheth-Kapadia and co-founded by Rachana Darda, the Mumbai edition, co-created with Shilpa Bhagat and formally opened by Genelia Deshmukh (née D’Souza), featured artworks spanning Masters, Contemporary Art, Tribal and Folk Art and Photography.

It marked the beginning of a sustained philanthropic platform rooted in creative expression, with more HeartWorks editions set to travel soon to other metros across India and abroad.
