PURPOSE:
India is a host to over 40 traditional folk arts. These folk arts have been passed on from generation to generation for over 3000 years. However, except for a handful, the rest of these art forms are on the verge of extinction. The once-thriving community of artists is now dwindled down to a couple of families fighting to keep the art alive.
We, at International Indian Folk Art Gallery wants to make a difference.
We have built a platform to support and grow our Indian folk art and artists. The platform allows over 40 different traditional folk art styles of India to collaborate in one digital space.
Each artist will have their own personal gallery, URL, and branding. We also encourage the artist to run their own training classes on Indian folk arts to help transfer knowledge and skills. The platform has been integrated with state of art learning management system for delivering university-style online and offline art workshops. This is the beginning of our long journey to recognize Indian Folk Art on the world map!
OPPORTUNITY
We see children as key to bringing this change and help revive Indian Folk Art for the next generation. This is an exciting opportunity for teachers and children to be part of this beautiful journey. Explore 3000 years old Indian Folk Art history and culture with family, friends and fellow art lovers.
Not to mention, what a fantastic way to spend school holidays with family!
