Keeping true to its vision and core values which are ‘service to society’ & ‘preservation and promotion of the culture and heritage of Mewar, MMCF initiated Rang - an Art & Craft association inspired by the colorful hues of Mewar and Holi in the year 2007.
The attempt was to identify, trace, promote and nurture the talent of artists and craftsmen, who have been in their respective trades since generations and may have been the last examples of impeccable craftsmanship, however were lacking innovation and presentation of their art form in vision of contemporary society.
Rang 2013 is another effort taking from our vision for Culture and Heritage promotion. This year we invite various artists practicing art forms like Terracotta from Molela, Mirror or Theekri work, Miniature painting and Phad painting.
Aditi Babel, a book artist and a graphic designer from the city of Udaipur will be working together with these artists and craftsmen to create contemporary art forms. We hope to achieve our goal by creating art forms which will enhance the process for the artists and craftsmen as well as help them to cater to the contemporary world.
Meet few of the artists and their art forms:

Jamnalal Kumbhar
Showcasing Molela Terracotta Art Form
Lively folk beliefs and faith of the rural population are modeled into iconic images of folk heroes and deities out of earthen clay by the imagination and artistic skills of the potters of Molela, a tiny village near Nathdwara. The specialty of these baked artefacts lies in the fact that they are crafted by bare hands without the help of any mould or dye. Most of these deities have heroic deeds and ballads attached to them. Traditionally, the priests called bhopas, who bought the images of the folk deities then established those and devras, the living abodes of the local folk gods and goddesses.
The Artist: born in 1968, is a traditional potter from his village of Molela. He exclusively produces clay and terracotta plaques.
Nilesh Sharma,
Showcasing Mewar School Of Art
Paintings of the Mewar School of Art served mainly as a pictorial record of the events and
activities that dominated the life in The Palace. The paintings documented the public duties including festivals and processions and private pastimes of the Maharanas of Mewar. The artists excelled in careful delineation, shift of scale and fusion of multiple viewpoints which allowed them to further capture the fairy tale grandeur of the court life and the exuberance of the Palace architecture. The landscape of Mewar along with the splendid palaces and lakes form as much a part of the artist's subject matter as the events he strived to depict.
The Artist: born in1983, hails from a family of traditional miniature painters from Udaipur. He has now diversified into doing pichhwais, glass inlay work and gold leaf work on marble and cloth.

Krishnakant Sharma inherited the craft from his father and grandfather. His father being a veteran in thikri work has been practicing this craft since last 35 years and has also received as award for the exceptional work done in Devigarh Palace Hotel.
