College Of Arts And Crafts College

We are located at 30, Main Road Patna, which is right in the heart of the city. Being on the main road means it’s never really quiet here, but the students don't seem to mind the noise. This is an old institution, and you can see it in the way the walls look and the smell of oil paint that hangs in the hallways. We have rooms filled with easels, half-finished sculptures, and sketches pinned up everywhere. It’s a bit messy, but that’s how an art college usually is. People are always walking around with charcoal on their hands or clay under their fingernails. We don't have a fancy reception area. If you want to talk to someone, you just walk in and ask for the office. The staff here are mostly artists themselves, so they understand the process of making things. We have a lot of history in these rooms, with generations of students having sat in the same spots. Sometimes the electricity goes out and we just open the big windows to keep working by the natural light. It’s a very practical place where the focus is on the work being done on the canvas or the wheel. We don't spend much time on decorations because the student work is the decoration. It’s a busy, creative spot right in the middle of Patna’s usual chaos.
