The Bombay Art Society (BAS) was founded in 1888. The following year, they decided to hold an annual exhibition, which eventually became the breeding ground for artists like Amrita Sher-Gil, SH Raza and NS Bendre. The exhibition made its way into the Jehangir Art Gallery when it was inaugurated in 1952, where approximately 300 artworks would be displayed every year, until the pandemic struck. Like most organisations, BAS was compelled to put a halt to the physical event but they didn’t want to discontinue this prestigious tradition. So, the oldest art institution in Asia decided to take it online for the first time.
