And this study explores sustainable art practices within the Indian art field through a practice-based research methodology. The primary objective is to examine art projects, case study and the creative processes, as well as their ecological and social impacts on society. It is imperative to acknowledge the environmental crisis of the current century and to adapt our ecological framework to safeguard the future.

The study examines sustainable art practices in visual art, analyzing the work of artists made to incorporate recycled and eco-friendly materials, thereby promoting ecological and environmental equilibrium. In contemporary contexts, Indian artists are addressing global ecological concerns through innovative and ethical art-making. Sustainability in Indian art also encompasses social responsibility, as well as collaborative and community-based art projects. This research emphasizes sustainable artwork utilizing recycled materials. On the Indian subcontinent, individuals are engaging with diverse art mediums, both organic and inorganic. The study discusses the broader trend of contemporary Indian artists experimenting with recycled materials and eco-friendly mediums. This research explores the novel concept of development concerning both material and subject matter, illustrating how sustainable art practices contribute to raising environmental awareness and impacting society. Sustainable art practices represent an integrative process wherein artists create works from recycled and waste materials that are environmentally friendly, thereby minimizing environmental harm and influencing societal change. This process encompasses two aspects: material and ecologically friendly environmental materials.
