Why Chander Haat?

The different cultural activities such as music, dance, and drama played a vital role in the beginning and has become integral to the community based art practice which is nurtured at Chander Haat.

The focus has moved more towards the visual Language and its possibilities, Chander Haat has gradually become a lively and active center for the practice and promotion of the visual language as their primary zone of interest. However, by engaging with the other alternative arts like installation, video art and performance art, the art practice at this center has not constrained itself by the conventional mediums like painting or sculpture, but is very open to the new genres and innovative fields which give complete justification to the phrase contemporary art.
