Teacher brings art, recreation, books and coffee under one roof, helps artists with free display space.
GADAG:
Picture this: Walking into a room with beautiful paintings and artefacts, people reading novels and discussing art, all the while sipping coffee and relishing ice-cream. This is Art Adda, a new hangout in Gadag that offers a range of activities, all under one roof. This unique initiative is the brainchild of artist Vijay Kiresur, a drawing teacher of Niralagi Government School in the district.
The cafe provides a platform to upcoming artists to showcase their paintings, and its parent organisation — Bannada Mane Samskrutik Vedike — gives a chance to musicians, artistes, speakers and upcoming actors to perform every Saturday evening at Art Adda.
