The 5th Ecocrafts Bazaar;- Magical weaves and crafts of North Eastern Region of India is being organised at Nyokum Lapang ground, Itanagar, Arunachal Pradesh w.e.f 30th March to 8th April 2011. This is being organised by Creations Society for Handicrafts and Goodwill, Imphal in collaboration with O/o the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry of Textiles, Government of India.
125 Artisans from Manipur/ Nagaland/Arunachal Pradesh and Assam will be taking part during the 10 Days exclusive handicrafts fair.
Various ranges of crafts from
Kauna craft,
Cane and Bamboo,
Pottery,
Artistic Textiles,
Shaphee Lanphee and
other Embroidery Crafts,
Dolls and Toys,
Applique,
Carpets,
woodcarvings,
tribal jwelleries etc etc.
will be displayed and execute sales.
The sole objective of the event is an attempt for the promotion of the artifacts produced by the selected craftspersons. This has been successful in generating gainful self employment in craftsmen families and increasing earnings by ensuring better value for their products.
ii) This also eliminates unnecessary middlemanship from the marketing channel between the potential buyers and artisans. A creation of unique platform wherein the craftsmen can interact with other craftsmen, designers, marketers, banks, government officials and to all the lovers of arts and crafts with a concept of mutual benefit and peaceful co- existence.
The earlier 4 Editions were organised in Shillong ( twice) and in Imphal ( twice). The programme has evoked a good response from the buyers, exporters, general Public, and the craftsmen community in each occasions. Apart from this, the organisation has another marketing program( a mini version) called Ecocrafts Exhibition which is being held in various places from time to time with the same objective and comprising of only 15 Artisans.
It is our sheer belief that the echo of Ecocrafts may linger on in this mysterious, magical and mystical land of adventure, Arunachal Pradesh!!!!
