Vivek Shilpa Kala Kendra

At No 221, South 2Nd Cross Street, our workshop for Vivek Shilpa Kala Kendra is always a hive of activity. It’s not your typical clean office environment. There are wood shavings on the floor, the smell of paint in the air, and tools scattered across every available surface. We’ve been on South 2Nd Cross Street for many years, and the building has seen better days, but it works for us. We don't have a professional photographer to take pictures of our work for a website. We just do the jobs as they come in. Most of our clients are people from the surrounding area who know us by name. We handle a mix of art and construction projects, which keeps things interesting. Sometimes we’re carving something intricate, and other times we’re just figuring out how to fix a structural issue. It gets quite hot in the afternoons, so we usually have the fans running full blast, which makes it hard to hear the phone. We don't have any corporate goals or fancy speeches about what we do. We just like making things and helping people out with their projects. If you come by, you might have to wait a minute while we put down a tool to talk to you. It’s just the way we run things here. We prefer the hands-on approach over sitting in meetings all day long.
