Shift – Art & Design Festival
An IP of Awaaz Studio, the SHIFT – Art & Design Festival, started in 2021, brings together artist collectives, independent creators, performers and art enthusiasts to foster expression and collaboration and strengthen Jaipur’s art scene. The festival is dedicated to the entire creative industry—arts, design, media, culture, and entertainment.
Complete with keynote sessions, gigs, jams, hands-on workshops, performances and more, SHIFT fosters an unconference-like atmosphere where participants can learn, network, and be entertained, all while exploring new opportunities within the vibrant world of arts.
With a dedicated Pop-up area, the focus lab, Main stage, the community stage ‘You Do You’ and F&B area, SHIFT is a wholesome experience for all art enthusiasts. At its last edition in December 2023, the festival brought together a whopping 23,000+ visitors together. The 6th edition of SHIFT will be held from 20 to 22 December 2024 at the front lawns of Birla Auditorium in Jaipur.

How To Get There
How to Reach Jaipur
1. By Air: Air travel to Jaipur is the most convenient way to reach the city. The Jaipur airport is located at Sanganer, which is 12 km from the heart of the city. It has both international and domestic terminals and is well connected to most of the cities across the globe, with a number of airlines operating on a regular basis. Popular carriers like Jet Airways, SpiceJet, Air India, IndiGo and Oman Air have daily flights to Jaipur. Flights to international cities such as Kuala Lumpur, Sharjah and Dubai are also connected from this airport.
2. By Rail: You can travel to Jaipur by trains such as Shatabdi Express, which is air-conditioned, very comfortable and connects Jaipur to many important Indian cities such as New Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Jodhpur, Udaipur, Jammu, Jaisalmer, Kolkata, Ludhiana, Pathankot, Haridwar, Bhopal, Lucknow, Patna, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Goa. Some of the popular trains are the Ajmer Shatabdi, Pune Jaipur Express, Jaipur Express and Adi S. J. Rajdhani. Also, with the advent of the Palace on Wheels, a luxury train, you can now enjoy the royal splendour of Jaipur even when you are on the move.
3. By Road: Taking a bus to Jaipur is a pocket-friendly and convenient option. The Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) runs regular Volvo (air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned) and deluxe buses between Jaipur and other cities within the state.
