New Delhi’s Art Montage Concludes on a High Note

Well, the curtains may have come down on the 12-Day Tribes Art Fest that left an indelible impression on the city, but the buzz refuses to die down. The event, boasting a staggering ₹1.25 crores of direct artwork sales, not only showcased the rich tribal art but also the economic powerhouse it can turn into if acknowledged and appreciated correctly. The fest which spread over several South Delhi venues like Dilli Haat INA and The Crafts Museum, served as a platform for tribal artists to display their creative prowess intuitively woven into rugs, pottery, paintings and a lot more.

A Winner for Everyone

Local residents, tourists, art enthusiasts and the Rajiv Chowk Metro station-going office workers all have reported a notable surge in artistic curiosity. According to one shopkeeper at the bustling Janpath Market, “I’ve seen a significant rise in demand for tribal-inspired merchandise ever since the art fest began.” Moreover, the event also posed as an unconventional learning experience for the kids of the city, enriching their vacation with beautiful insights into the tribal way of life.
