What's happening?

Listen up, Indoris! There's an amazing terracotta art exhibition headed your way. Celebrating the rich history of clay and terracotta over the years, and across all civilizations, artisans from Indore will showcase their skill and talent at this exhibition.

What's in it for you?

Some of the experienced artisans who will showcase their work here includes sculptor Pankaj Agarwal, furniture designer and pebble artist Smita Bhardwaj and the highly talented clay artist Anushri Dubey, who learnt her art from Ethiopian artisans.

Each of them have a unique style that makes them stand out. Their art transcends the boundaries of what we know as conventional art and gives us a new, varied look at how they see the world. Surely, their art will leave you seeing life from many different perspectives.

Apart from this, for the first time, there will be a live demonstration by the potters themselves. This is a great opportunity for you to see artisans in their element, and how they go about the process of creating their art.
