About
Our Story
Tribal Art Connect was founded by Ishaan Mehrish, a Grade IX student at The Shri Ram School, Moulsari, and his sister, Ayesha Mehrish, both driven by a passion for art and community support. Recognizing the untapped potential of tribal art, they envisioned a platform where tribal artists could showcase their work and connect with global art enthusiasts.
Operating as a non-profit, Tribal Art Connect is dedicated to promoting and preserving the cultural significance of tribal art. Through education, engagement, and exposure, the platform seeks to raise awareness and appreciation for this often-overlooked art form, ensuring it receives the recognition it truly deserves.
