The art workshops organised by the Chandigarh Lalit Kala Akademi (CLKA) from June 29 to July 3, for amateurs above the age of 15, drew an enthusiastic response from art lovers of tricity. The number of seats had to be increased at the last moment so that applicants could be accommodated.

After a long gap due to Covid-19 restrictions, the Open Hand Studios at the Le Corbusier Centre in Chandigarh’s Sector 19 was filled with colours, creativity and conversations as participants joyously created works of art. For many participants, it was their first experience.

Bheem Malhotra, chairperson of CLKA, said, “We had provision for 20 seats in printmaking but we raised them to 33. Similarly, we raised the number from 20 to 28 for painting.”

Rahul Dhiman, who conducted the printmaking workshop, said, “All participants were first-time printmakers. They took deep interest in lino-cut and the results were amazing.”

Pankaj Saroj, who conducted the painting workshop, was also satisfied with the works of the participants. The Akademi has now decided to hold these workshops biannually.

    Delhi: From a granary to creative business street

    For the uninitiated, Dhan Mill Compound, a former granary and a cluster of warehouses, has morphed into the city’s modish food, fashion, design and lifestyle destination. Its streets are lined with art cafes, home décor outlets, ateliers, art galleries, pottery studios, dance halls and high-end boutiques, whose facades and interiors are as interesting and experimental as the wares they deal in. Interestingly, all of these fancy establishments are housed in re-purposed warehouse buildings, which still have metal roofs.
