If you catch someone doodling like their life depends on it at an art gallery in SoBo this weekend, give them a pat on the back and cheer them on; they’re possibly racing against time in art educator Anika Goenka’s The Amazing Art Race. Conceptualised with co-founder Madhumita Srivastava, the art gallery-hopping trail returns for the first time after the COVID-19 pandemic with new visual clues, activities, and tasks, tomorrow.

“As an art educator, I know that the quickest and most efficient way to get someone interested in art is to leave the classroom and head to an art gallery,” Goenka, a Parsons School of Design alumnus shares. To that end, four art galleries and six outdoor spots form part of the upcoming art trail. As for the beginning, that remains a mystery to be solved. “After we gather at the meeting point, participants will receive a written clue coloured in wordplay and rhymes that points them to their first checkpoint,” she reveals.
