India Craft Week (ICW) is India's first and official craft week, supported by World Crafts Council – International and Asia-Pacific Region. It is the only platform that celebrates the finest craftspersonship by uniting luxury brands and master craft makers. 

India Craft Week is not a marketplace, bazaar or pop up show. It is an ecosystem where the main agenda is to promote and connect craftsmanship with right stake holders. ICW brings together craftspersons, artisans, designers, and brands through craft installations, live demonstrations and cross-talks.

India Craft Week is a private show not supported by the Govt. It also supports and sponsors the artisans who participate in this show for their curation. It is dependent on brands' participation fee and tickets to organise the display of this scale. Just like, how we pay for tickets to watch Films, Art and Design shows or attend art festivals, similarly there are tickets to attend these shows.
