Platform

If you are a jewellery artist, artisan or metalsmith, then Rasvihar Platform is a programme that may be of interest to you. Platform is an initiative that seeks to introduce talented jewellery artists, working with special techniques or unique art forms to a discerning audience. This is an opportunity to showcase your work, share your knowledge & skills and meet with new people in another city or country.

While specifics will vary depending upon a variety of factors, Platform could take the shape of an exhibition and sale for 2 to 4 days duration - a showcase of your extraordinary talent, skill or technique. You will also have an opportunity for knowledge exchange in the form of interactive lectures, demos and presentations.

The mission of Platform is to promote and help revive traditional jewellery art forms from any part of the world. It does so by helping create a rich environment for such art to flourish and by providing a stage for artistic talent to showcase their art and connect with the discerning audience of Chennai. Our city Chennai is considered the cultural capital of India, with a tradition of art and jewelry-making that’s more than a thousand years old.

Jewellery artists pay for their travel to Chennai, accommodation, insurance, logistics and other personal expenses. Once mutually convenient dates are firmed up, Platform will provide the venue and other facilities. Platform will provide publicity via Ghatam, our bimonthly newsletter, press meet and other media. There are no upfront costs; a reasonable commission on sales will be mutually finalised.

Let us know of your interest in this and we could work out details. We’re very excited about the prospect of working with jewellery talent and look forward to hearing from you soon. Email us at platform [AT] rasvihar.com.
