Cholamandal Artists’ Village

Cholamandal Artists’ Village is a collective home to contemporary artists, founded in 1966 by a group of painters and sculptors including the renowned K.C.S. Paniker. Spread over several acres, this vibrant enclave features studios, galleries, and a sculpture park, showcasing a range of artworks from traditional to modern. Visiting the village offers a chance to see artists at work and explore the gallery's exhibitions, which often rotate. Weekends tend to attract more visitors, providing a lively atmosphere. Be sure to explore the nearby seaside at Ekkatuthangal, where the aesthetic charm complements the art.
