About Us

We are
Indigenous Arts Foundation

We are the custodians of creativity, dedicated to nurturing the love of art that is rooted in India’s heritage. Our foundation stands as a vibrant confluence of the past and the present, where traditional techniques are celebrated and new expressions are embraced.

We are committed to the artists and the art forms that tell the stories of India’s soul – from the intricate tapestries of handicrafts to the evocative narratives of traditional paintings. Our initiatives are designed to promote, train, and support, ensuring that each brushstroke, each dance step, and each note of music resonates with the authenticity of its roots and the freshness of contemporary influence.

Indigenous Arts Foundation is not just about preserving what is ancient; it is about infusing the old with the new, creating a dynamic dialogue between generations. We are a bridge connecting the artisans with a global audience, celebrating the diversity and richness of Indian culture through the language of art.

Our workshops, exhibitions, and cultural events are the platforms where tradition meets innovation, and where every artist's dream is given the wings to soar.

Our museum is a sanctuary where stories are safeguarded within these precious gems, allowing visitors to embark on a journey through history, love, and personal connections. With a deep appreciation for the symbolism and sentimental value of lockets, we strive to create an immersive experience that transports visitors into the world of locket artistry.
