Set in a beautiful old bungalow in a charming and quite residential part of Jayanagar, Active Canvas is as much about experiencing art in the right surroundings as learning it. Founded by two sisters, Raksha and Divya, this project with its tag line of art=fun, is funded, very interestingly, by Nadathur Holdings.

Active Canvas has whole lot of courses – long-term, as well short-term courses that are perfect for the summer, for everyone from ages 3 to 82. They offer courses in drawing, sketching, painting, theater, dance, fitness, pottery, clay, music, language, craft and photography. In addition, there are also special courses such as parent-toddler clay classes, couples only classes and senior citizen classes. An interesting fact about their art, clay and pottery classes is that they provide all the materials for the course and so you are spared the trouble of hunting for canvases and what-not in crowded Avenue Road.

The bungalow, with its gleaming red oxide floors and old-fashioned windows which allow natural light to filter in, is divided into five studios. Yellow barn, the dance studio with its lovely wooden floors and mirrored wall looks perfect for kid’s ballet lessons. The ceramic studio, Olam, is situated in the first floor of the house, is light-drenched and engaging with its huge windows, electric potter’s wheels and clays.

Active Canvas is truly meant to bring out the artist in you! So go on, tap into your creativity or your child’s, and take those guitar classes, terracotta lessons or paper making courses.
