The Indigo Arts website has remained active over the last year and a half despite the widespread shutdowns due to the COVID-19 virus. I have been able to resume regular operations. I am able to pack and ship most orders within a few days. Shipping times have increased during this period. The gallery is open to visitors on an appointment only basis and according to city masking regulations. Please phone or email ahead.
Note: USPS service remains very slow. I don't recommend it if you are in a hurry. Please note also that USPS shipping estimates include little or no insurance, which we must charge separately.
Please stay safe!

The Patuas of West Bengal are a traditional artisan caste specializing in the production of painted narrative scrolls and the performance of songs to accompany their unrolling. Traditionally, the scroll painters wander from village to village, seeking patronage by singing their own compositions while unraveling painted scrolls on sacred and secular themes.
