Nov 14, 2008 11:36 pm		Soem help required for the folk and tribal artists of India ...
Surajit Ray		Hi Everyone ! First I will introduce myself. My name is Surajit Ray. I have started a venture called Rare Indian Art. In the past I have studied Biotechnology and then subsequently worked for a French company called Schlumberger. I have since the last two years made the best effort I could, in getting folk and tribal artists of India a foot hold in the internet domain. http://www.rareindianart.com The folk and tribal art forms in India need the help of the urban population to make it to the next generation. Being an artist myself I have decided to take our art and tradition to a wider audience. My wife has been my biggest support and she manages all the content. http://www.rareindianart.com We have hand-picked an array of folk artists from across India and put their details on the website. Also we have a vast array of products ( which is increasing at a huge pace) for all tastes. Our primary idea is to connect the art enthusiast with the folk artists. Therefore we do stuff like special orders for gifts - sometimes designed by the customer himself. We pass on these designs to the artists and then complete the loop by giving customer feedback to them. http://www.rareindianart.com We also have a bunch of content writers who go through the art and rate them in four different ways (on a scale of 10): 1) Aesthetics - This rating is about the visula appeal of the piece/painting. 2) Talents - A way to rate the skill of the artists who makes the piece (does he have to be super skilled to make it ?) 3) History - a rating about the history (how old the art form is ) and the rarity in the present times 4) Materials - A rating to give an idea about the durability of the item as well as information about how valuable the raw materials are ! You can see a description of these ratings at http://www.rareindianart.com/index.php?main_page=page_4 We also have a knowledge base at http://www.rareindianart.com/index.php?main_page=knowledge_base Details of artists http://www.rareindianart.com/index.php?main_page=artists To every one here - If you think that there are art lovers in your town/city and there is a scope for promoting these art forms at your location - please contact me at surajit@rareindianart.com Will be glad to work out a plan of action involving anyone who would like to help .
