About us

Preserving Odisha’s Rich Cultural Heritage

Odisha Art and Culture Foundation is a humanitarian organization intended to serve mankind, enriching their cultural aspiration through the spread and development of Odisha's art and culture. 

 

Odisha Art and Culture Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving, promoting, and celebrating the rich cultural heritage of Odisha. Our journey is rooted in the belief that art and culture are not just expressions of creativity, but powerful mediums that connect generations, strengthen identity, and inspire progress.

 

Through our initiatives, we aim to bring the world closer to Odisha’s vibrant traditions — from classical dance forms like Odissi and folk performances such as Gotipua, Chhau, and Sambalpuri dance, to the intricate crafts of Pattachitra, applique work, and stone carving. We also spotlight the hidden gems of Odisha — its unexplored destinations, indigenous art forms, local festivals, and talented artists whose stories deserve to be told.
