12 Winners: Young Indian Folk Artist 2021

International Indian Folk Art Gallery (IIFAG) is an organisation promoting Indian Folk Art around the world. IIFAG is an Australian government approved business (ABN:77841807839), with fully registered and licensed operations in Chennai, India.

The sixteen member volunteer team, headed by Senthil Vel are from all the world, providing expertise around curation, marketing, sales, infrastructure.

We specialize in Indian Folk Art and Crafts, with the largest collections of folk art in our gallery and also now building the largest online Gurukulam (school for Indian Folk Art) under one platform.

India is a host to over 40 traditional folk arts. These folk arts have been passed on from generations to generations for over 3000 years. However, except for a handful, the rest of them are on the verge of extinction. The once-thriving community of artists in India, is now reduced to a small number of families fighting to keep the art alive.

We, at International Indian Folk Art Gallery wants to make a difference.

We have also created a world class online learning management system (LMS), called Gurukulam as an online school for Indian Folk Art. Gurukulam system supports both, self-learning and one to one coaching process to transfer knowledge and skills.

Within Gurukulam, we have also built inside assessment process to measure the knowledge transfer, to make the process both fun and effective for students and teachers.

We personally, hand pick artists and work with teachers to ensure we maintain the authenticity of our traditional Indian Folk Art and craft. We focus on simplifying the learning process through our self-learning programs, making it easier for students to learn different art forms.

As part of this process, we offer an online platform for every Indian Folk Artist and craftsmen at no costs. For underprivileged artists, we also help them to set up their own personal gallery and “Gurukulam” at no additional costs.

To date, we have published following Indian Folk Arts in our online Gurukulam platform
