Who We Are?

ARTSofINDIA.in - Traditional Arts and Crafts from India, is an initiative from "Sanskriti", which is registered in Bangalore, India. The portal represents the inter-cultural moments of India, when new perspectives arise and much that has been forgotten is rediscovered and replayed. The goal of Sanskriti is to help Indian Traditional Arts and artists get the recognition on global art map.

What We do?

For the past one decade, we are promoting Indian arts and crafts and providing a much needed platform for the mostly poor and remotely situated artists on these arts.

Our Social Responsibilities?

We are part of our society and we truly understand the responsibilities we have towards it. Though its true that not all the artists are poor, we know most of them are and these artists are playing a crucial role of keeping Indian traditional arts alive till date and they need proper care else we might loose the arts along with them. We do provide support to these artists in the following manner

• Listing and Placing their art works on ArtsOfIndia.in with sufficient details at minimum cost.
• Help them getting buyers for their art works and close the deal
• Help them participating in Art events, workshops and exhibitions.
• Connect them with people interested in learning the arts.

We hope to revive the forgotten and slowly vanishing traditional arts of India and their artists with our sincere efforts.

Artisans play a major role in developing communities or local economies. Second only to agriculture, artisan enterprise is the second largest employer in the developing world.

From early ages to current world, people of India have been using handmade products for a long time. In ancient India people lived in colonies called tribals and they were used to make utility items for their daily need. Then people started selling these products in the local markets “Haat”. Time has been passed and people have become more developed and civilized in all aspects, those who were making handicraft products have started trading their makings by increasing demand. 

Skilled people create varied kinds of items starting from consumer goods to decorative pieces out of paper, wood, clay, shells, rock, stone, metal etc. with the help of simple tools.
