Description

Sanskriti Pratishthan, is an Indian not-for-profit cultural organisation based in New Delhi. Sanskriti literally means 'the process of cultivating,' and the Pratishthan (or Foundation) was set up in 1979, initially to help cultivate an environment for preservation and promotion of India's artistic and cultural resources. Since then, Sanskriti has grown organically and embraced a wider variety of activities and creative endeavours not only from India but all over the world. As an institute their watchword is to conserve and perpetuate a tradition that is vital and vibrant, as ancient as it is contemporary, as beautiful as it is functional, as elegant as it is simple and as Indian as it is universal. Sanskriti is rooted in the soil of life and its inexorable and intrinsic sense of beauty. Its faith is in culture as a catalyst and as part of everyday life and not as an exclusive ivory tower concept.

The International Residency Programme for Artists and Scholars is both available for individual and group artists. These three model of group residencies are the following and can be applied directly to Sanskriti:

  1. Self-Proposed group creative residencies: http://www.sanskritifoundation.org/terms-conditions-residencies.html
