Cholamandal is a village of artists. Set up in 1965 as an experiment, it is now a successful co-operative. About 30 artists and sculptors live here in beautiful green surroundings.
In the words of the co-operative, "Cholamandal stands for the rehabilitation of the creative artist as an equal participant in society, self employed and independent. Here the artist paints or sculpts through the major part of the day and applies himself to an art-craft during leisure hours to supplement his income".
There is a permanent art gallery where art exhibitions are held (you can buy here, if interested). There is also an open-air theatre where artists from different walks of life perform. |
