Explore the Incredible Folk Arts Of India

Indian Folk Art forms are ancient and versatile. There are over 50 traditional folk arts indigenous to India, each style distinct and originating from various states across the country. These traditional arts are over 3000 years old and their survival has been dependent on small communities passing knowledge down from generation to generation.
After extensive research, wrote an article in 2021 on the 52 Indian Folk Art form that must be protected. We have discovered more artforms since that needs to be included to the list. Here is the link to the article>>
Today, some of these Indian Folk Arts and our beautiful heritage are sadly on the verge of extinction, due to causes such as:
  1. Lack of awareness of these beautiful artworks and limited support for artists
  2. industrial and economic pressure to prioritize alternative careers to the arts in India
  3. diminishing numbers of artisans still practicing and propagating the artform
  4. artform being contained within India with no exposure directed towards non-residential Indians internationally

Indian Folk Art Workshop – Key to knowledge transfer

At IIFAG, our mission is to propagate the beauty of Indian Folk Art across the globe and continue the tradition of teaching the next generation. So far, we have done this through art classes for children, workshops for adults, art competitions and folk art events. It is our aim to give these arts the necessary platform to flourish.

We have been offering many online programs for our art lovers, including children, through our Gurukulam, state-of-the-art learning management system. We are extending this knowledge transfer process at the largest Indian Folk Art Exhibition and Workshop in Bangalore at Karnataka Chitra Kala Parishath from 16th – 19th June 2022. It’s absolutely FREE!

At this event, we will be hosting many traditional artisans who will be conducting workshops on different types of Indian Folk Arts and displaying over 500 unique artifacts from all over the Indian subcontinent. These include artwork in the styles of Sanjhi, Bhil, Gond, Warli, Pichwai, Pothi Chitra (palm leaf engraving), Tanjore, and more.
