As i had promised, here is a list of best art galleries and theatre auditoriums in the city, yea these are alternative forms of entertainment Chennai is highly catching up on, goodbye to good ol' cinemas theatreas and beaches, when we had noother choice but to depend on them for our weekend entertainment. Opening of the ECR did bring in some joy to our lives, but then its becoming monotonous too, esp for people like us who are looking for alternative media always and are always wide-open to newer concepts.

Alliance Francaise de Madras (Nungambakkam) hits the numebr one spot right on with a numebr of art and theatre activities scehduled through out the week. Then there is Kotturpuram Prakrit Art Gallery, Adyar Forum Art Gallery and Madras Craft FOundation in ECR. Dakshinachitra is an awesome place to spend the weekend in and its also a great tourist destination for people to get to know and experience the culture of South-india.

There are many small non-descript places in the city that are doing awesome with their niche crowd. They are gaining popularity displaying hte talents of artists well known as well ameteur and up-coming artists use this as a great platform to gain publicity. Some of such mention worthy places are Vinnyasa Premier Art Gallery (Mylapore), Heritage Art Gallery (Anna Nagar), Sanju Schools of Arts (T. Nagar) and Geetham Arts & Crafts (kodambakkam).

Its time to check them out and write a post on these wonderful places!
