Are you someone who revels in the joy of dancing? Does the artist inside you leap with joy when you bring a blank canvas to life with your paintbrush? Or are you someone who’s never held a paintbrush in your life yet? Nestled in the streets of Mysore, exists a perfect cocoon for someone like you – The Hobby Place! Touted to be one of its kind, this creative studio welcomes a plethora of talent, be it expertise in pottery, music, dance, art, theatre, craft or sewing. The professionals running this facility will take you under their wing and nurture the dormant artist in you by giving you the freedom to create your own masterpieces while guiding you at every step of the way. This not only lights a flame of dedication and interest in the artist but also helps showcase the nuances of plenty of rare art-forms. In a world engulfed in technology, social media and digitalization, our revered and rich culture and its various art-forms are slowly going dormant. Creating awareness of such rare art-forms while also providing a platform for experienced artists to gain recognition and applause is a noble cause and ‘The Hobby Place’ truly exemplifies this cause.
Apart from indulging in promotion of art, The Hobby Place also sets foot into the domain of non-profit charity work which largely targets the underprivileged and specially abled people who require assistance. In fact, even the raw material like clay, used to create stunning pieces of art, is obtained from rural areas. This idea not only generates employment among rural communities but also helps spread a wave of awareness about art in the remote areas of India.
Artists who wish to collaborate with other artists have a fantastic opportunity to do so at this hub of culture and art! Meeting like-minded people who share the innate passion for culture and art can be incredibly fulfilling and possibly also lead to the creation of something truly spectacular. And if one wishes to cultivate any talent from scratch and nurture it, there are a multitude of workshops one can choose from. Any art-form is sacred and encouraging artists paves the way towards a culturally rich India. If you hold any hobby close to your heart, ‘The Hobby Place’ is your temple! So what are you waiting for? Go ahead and give wings to your artistic dreams!
