Now in its fourth year of contributing to the Southampton Mela Festival, Loveart saw the transformation of Hoglands Park into a dazzling spectacle of colour, music and performance art on July 19th.

Hosted by Art Asia, it was a free celebration of musical styles, exhilarating dance acts and mouth watering food, offering a wide range of family activities celebrating south Asian culture.

Thousands of people attended the extravaganza to experience music from Indian, classical, folk, world, Qawwali, Asian fusion and bhangra artists.
