The Head of QIAF and the founder and President of The MAPS International WLL, Rashmi Agarwal, conveyed a heartfelt message, emphasizing that QIAF is not just an art festival, but an emotion that brings together artists from all over the world. With over 300 artists from more than 65 countries and numerous galleries, it's a global celebration of art. She stressed the importance of teamwork, commitment, and decision-making in achieving great things and encouraged participation and self-belief.

The festival's masterclasses are expected to be a highlight, featuring eight sessions covering various topics such as unique techniques, technology in art, artificial intelligence in art, colour therapy, musical rhythm in art, skill enhancement, knowledge sharing, audio-video documentaries, and digital art.

The event will also host a panel discussion with distinguished dignitaries and professionals, focusing on "The science of 'art' towards sustainability and environmental responsibility."
