CCDF's vision is to undertake projects for upskilling artisans by introducing new concepts and designs. Keeping intact the authenticity of the art and craft and connecting them to new markets is key to the mandate of the foundation
The Gondwanda Art Project
The Gondwana Art Project is currently ongoing and is focused on tribal artisans from the Gondwana Region in central India, i.e Madhya Pradesh, and Maharashtra, practicing Gond, Warli and Bhil art. CCDF has selected five artists from a list of hundreds for this project. These Gond, Warli and Bhil artists have been selected through an assessment of their quality of work, talent, and their current economic status. Pictured here: Dancing Deer by Geeta Bariya
