The Journey Begins in Agra

The journey of the Ashok Aré Foundation begins in Agra — a city that reflects India’s grandeur through its timeless art forms. Agra is home to the intricate beauty of Zardozi embroidery and the delicate elegance of stone inlay work, crafts that have defined its cultural identity for centuries.

The Foundation’s mission is to revive these traditions by creating a platform where artists, art, and admirers come together — celebrating craftsmanship and building sustainable livelihoods.

From Agra, the Foundation will extend its reach across India — embracing and supporting diverse art forms, artists, and craft clusters, ensuring that every region’s creative voice is heard and celebrated.

Reviving Connections, Reimagining the Future

The Ashok Aré Foundation is more than an initiative — it’s a movement of pride and renewal. By empowering artisans and linking tradition with innovation, it aims to build a creative economy that sustains communities and strengthens India’s cultural identity
