Vision



We want to continue organizing exhibitions for the artists and their artifacts in various cities and promote their work in adequate marketing outlets that will help them earn their livelihood.

We want to consistently unearth such talent and bring it to the fore and promote their works worldwide.

Most of the sales proceed goes into nurturing and training artists and aiding them financially to continue their work of art. We hope our efforts get rewarded through the art patrons and supporters of art

What we do


We search for artists and source artifacts from different locations in India ( both rural and urban) and its neighboring countries (Nepal and Sri Lanka) and market it within India and abroad.

We bring the world market to our artists and increase the reach of their products world wide so that their works are promoted and gain recognition.  At the same time we ensure that the rural and the urban art doesn't fade away due to lack of funds.

We propose to make art sustainable for the artists and their families. These artifacts are a reflection of the milieu and the culture of the artists. 

About Us


This is a social entrepreneurship venture started by like minded people who have a keen interest in art and its growth over a period of time. As such we are deeply interested and involved in searching for artifacts that have been a part of the culture for years together (rural art) and also artifacts that are being developed in the cities.

We found that a lot of rural art has almost become extinct and some of it has evolved over the years with a blend of the old and the new. Whereas the promising artists from the cities have stopped their journeys for reasons of sustainability.

Hence, our endeavor is to promote artists and artifacts by providing them with a platform to showcase their work through us such that they get the right exposure and stand to sustain themselves.
