10 core Mumbai art galleries from the Colaba/Fort area have agreed to open on Sunday and late on Thursday in an effort to re-energize interest in art in the city.

On the fourth Sunday and the second Thursday of every month (that's Thursday August 11 and Sunday August 28 this month) galleries will open from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, and till 9 p.m. on Thursday.
