70 EMG Kala Ghoda Arts Festival

Seventy Event Media Group (70 EMG) has been the event partner of the Kala Ghoda Association (KGA) for a major part of the journey, with 2020 marking 18 years of seeing the festival evolve. 70 EMG, have been instrumental in ensuring the flawless operation of the festival. The festival opened its gates from February 1st to 9th, 2020. One of the biggest attractions of KGAF is its selection of carefully curated events and workshops which are free to enter, and open to all. 

The thousands of attendees visited events and activities in various categories such as Children, Cinema, Dance, Food, Heritage Walks, Literature, Music, Standup Comedy, Street, Theatre, Urban Design & Architecture, Visual Arts and Workshops. Following the precedence set over the last few years, the newly-introduced genres of Food and Stand-up Comedy once again garnered a lot of attention and attendance. The traditional favourites Cinema and Theatre continued to entertain the audiences with breath-taking performances on stage and cinematic excellence on screen. Theatre witnessed some of the best performances such as Pitaji Please & Locha Gotcha. 

Cross Maidan, which hosts the Dance & Music sections was thronging with crowds eager to grab front row seats even on weekdays. Not surprising though, with the music line-up comprising diverse talent like Jonita Gandhi, Taufiq Qureshi, Shilpa Rao & Amaan & Ayaan Ali Bangash. Dance aficionados got a chance to witness the best Dance groups from across the country, such as Daksha Sheth Dance Company, Smitalaya, Aditi Mangaldas & Group, King’s United, and others. 

70 EMG is responsible for the overall management and production of the festival and to supplement production managers to the individual curators. The event saw a footfall of half a million attendees over the course of nine days across the 15 venues that form a part of the festival space. For the smooth running of 600+ events across 14 verticals, 70 EMG employs 14 managers with their separate teams, with each vertical being managed as an individual event. 

Sushant Arora, Managing Director – 70 EMG, Delhi and the custodian of KGAF at the company since its early years, said, “It is great to see Kala Ghoda [Arts Festival] grow leaps & bounds every year, and to have been a part of that journey fills us with a sense of pride. Like every year, a fresh 70 EMG team set out to collaborate with the KGA to overcome new challenges to create a better experience for the people who come to visit the festival, and I am thrilled to say that we have produced a brilliant event together again, taking the event to greater heights.”
