Newari art is among the most sophisticated and spiritually rich in the world. Our Traditional Arts & Crafts program supports master artisans, funds apprenticeships, organizes workshops for youth, and maintains a digital archive of over 1,200 documented pieces. We also run artist residencies that bring international attention to these extraordinary art forms.
