Ken Fortes Arts Crafts Academy

Our academy is situated in BTM Layout 2nd Stage, specifically in the Nagarwada 15 area. It’s a lively neighborhood in Bangalore, and there’s always something happening nearby. Ken Fortes Arts Crafts Academy isn't a big, cold institution. It’s more like a cluttered workshop where there’s paint, clay, and paper everywhere you look. We don’t worry too much about keeping everything perfectly tidy because that’s not really how art works. The floors usually have a few stains on them, and the shelves are overflowing with projects that students have left behind. It’s a place where people come to get their hands dirty and try out different things. We don't have a formal dress code or any of those corporate rules. Most of the staff are just people who enjoy making things and helping others do the same. The afternoon sun hits the front window quite hard, making it the brightest spot in the room. We have some old wooden tables that have been scratched up over the years. It’s a comfortable place to sit for a few hours. We don't spend money on fancy brochures or advertisements. Most of the folks who come here live just a few streets away. It’s just a local spot for crafts, and we like the casual atmosphere we’ve got going on here.
