Artisan Market 2025: The Hand & Heart of Artforms

The 2nd edition of Artisan Market presented by Industree was held on September 6th & 7th, 2025, at Bangalore International Centre (BIC), Domlur - a celebration of craftsmanship, culture, and conscious living. 

India with its rich heritage in traditional arts and crafts, has been struggling to revive and sustain certain art forms. Industree Foundation has been active to address this by connecting with artisans practising languishing artforms and creating a market for them.

The second edition of the Artisan Market was held on September 6 & 7, 2025 at the Bangalore International Centre in Domlur. Nearly 30 artisans from across the country came together under one roof to showcase their unique craft & skills. The artisans were able to connect directly with customers while sharing the stories, techniques, and heritage behind their artforms. 

Visitors didn’t just see the art, they experienced it. Through hands-on workshops in leather puppetry, crochet, and block printing, participants had the chance to learn directly from the artisans. These moments of interaction gave everyone a deeper understanding of the effort, tradition, and beauty behind each craft.
