Goya!

Goya was born out of the necessity for establishing a collaborative network of artists, architects, investors, and other stakeholders in the creative field. It is a vibrant two-day celebration at the crossroads of art and architecture in Pakistan, serving as a platform with a multifaceted mission. It aims to dismantle the divide that has long divided the creative fields in Pakistan. At its core, Goya strives for inclusivity, making art and architecture accessible to all, irrespective of background or social status. It’s not just about making art; it’s about keeping our traditions alive and helping artists succeed. Moreover, Goya champions the growth of creative economy in Pakistan, connecting artists and architects with a broader audience, thus benefiting both the creative community and the country as a whole. In essence, Goya is a transformative force that celebrates creativity, fosters unity, promotes inclusivity, and safeguards Pakistan’s cultural heritage, all at the dynamic intersection of art and architecture
