VENUES
Set along the Mandovi River in Panaji, our venues are chosen for their
history, beauty, and cultural
relevance. Each space is reimagined to bring
audiences closer to the arts — transforming the
riverfront into a buzzing
cultural hub, accessible to all.

The Old GMC Complex
Nestled in the heart of Panjim, the complex built in 1842 housed one of Asia’s oldest medical institutions. This year, it will turn into a hub of powerful performances by leading theatre artists, inventive culinary creations and expansive visual arts and crafts exhibitions with hands-on workshops.
The complex also houses our Foundation Space, where we are celebrating ten years of the Serendipity Arts Festival. Take a break with carefully curated food and beverages, and don't miss the Alag Festival Shop, a unique retail experience celebrating responsible design, craftsmanship, and artistic innovation.

The Old PWD Complex
This public infrastructure, which remained constant throughout Panjim’s colonial and post-colonial eras, becomes a site for photographic exploration. The exhibition features works by artists from around the world, showcasing modern and contemporary image-based practices from the Indian subcontinent and the Arab Peninsula. It explores popular culture as a sociopolitical condition, shaped by the influences of cinema and avant-garde art.
