The place has a totally different vibe. For those who are art lovers, there are exhibitions held here. Different art works are showcased which is mindbloggingly beautiful. There are also art/crafts/traditional clothing stalls for shopping present during most of the times. Lovely colors and varieties.

Beautiful place for people who admire art, for those who understand the meaning hidden behind the artwork. Plenty stalls to visit. Djembe live show - they truly did a great job, involved the audience & made the audience dance to their beats. Wonderful experience!

Its name suggests it to be the regional art n handicraft hub. It has closely huddled stores open to elements of nature. Very limited items on sale.The stalls selling clothing are very mundane and non exclusive. Khadi Bhandars around Bangalore are far better stocked. An art gallery inside displays pantings and other handicrafts.

Good place to see paintings and so many traditional art works made of wood, brass, metal etc. Pricing are on a higher side

Good place to spend time with family if u are an art lover... Nice collection of paintings .. also exhibition has good collection of handicrafts from all over India..

Attended numerous ceremony and exhibition here and they have kept always neat and well managed. Exhibition hall Ambient is just suited for any genre it is organised for, Toilets are clean. Parking can be a issue to the visitors in rush hours.

Enjoyed this vibe in Karnataka. The had the best art gallery and the best priced furnitures. Kurtis and dresses were quite cheap compared to the market.

A great place thats back in action.For all folks that love crafts and artisan collection of clothing, home decor, ceramic pottery and bling jewelry, this is a great place.The current exhibition is on till this month end.Do visit and buy and support the people from across the country.This time I felt the quality is really good.Do visit, reply and comment on my post if you find it informative.Happy shopping.

Handcrafted items, bed sheets, kurta kurties, dress material, photo frame, paper, achaar etc

CKP is a good place to go to, if you need to hang out, or to buy something Artsy or to spend a good evening in a mela. Good for weekend shopping of home decor collection or buying of crafts, handicrafts or souvenirs from different part of India. Parking space, canteen adds well. Occasionally, magic shows, shadow puppet etc are also.arranged in the open air.

Worth watching..dont miss... Articles seems to be bit expensive.

Many painting galleries located inside a medium sized building. Few big trees add to the beauty of the environs. You can also buy memorabilia. After getting exhausted seeing paintings, one can have hot beverages and snacks at a Kiosk inside the campus.

Great place. Exhibition with sale. Art gallery is nice.Museum isnt good. Canteen is nice & affordable.

Its a good place for exhibition type of Function . People visit here for many kinds of art exhibitionI recently visited here on 3 April 2021 as a viewer I witnessed many type of art displayedThere is museum too u can visit museum for 10rs ticket fee

One of the very few places left for art. Great place to be. Had been there recently to launch a new Book “Golden Gate” written by my Father related to Indian history and science fiction.

Edited review:Revisited this place after 2 weeks, followed by a successful first visit. Unfortunately, even though the NAME and DATES for the exhibition has changed, most of the STALLS are pretty much the same! Slightly disappointed with this realisation!This place hosts exhibitions and events.The current exhibition by Indian arts and crafts bazaar will be showcased from 19-28th march 2021. Various stalls featuring pots, handicrafts, clothings, wood crafts etc are available for sale from different parts of India.Parking is available inside the campus.They exhibition space is small but you can definitely spend 1-2 hours browsing through the items! Fun and creative items available!

One of the best art collection it is maintaining with only 10 rupees entry fee to museum. Art collection from Rabindranath Tagore to Jamini Roy and many more other artists.All sates arts also displayed here.People can buy art collection also from Art Mart. Handicraft mela is an added advantage.

Very nice ambience with great galleries and art works!The museum is slightly unstructured but holds some really good period art pieces.The food at the canteen is ok.

One of the best place to visit if you are interested in arts and painting. I loved the exhibition that is going on right now till 3rd October.

Souq market!!! Beautiful handicrafts and various other stalls.. dp check them out! You’ll love it for sure..It’s the traffic to reach the place might drive you crazy.. but inside the market you’ll see beauty!

Its a different world. Art world. We were truly mesmerized to the art of highest form! Very well maintained, ample parking lot! Everyone must visit here and enjoy the art work!!!! The all India exhibition out the gallery was just amazing during Bengaluru Utsava (Bangalore Fest)

You will find a hell of art things there. If you go now you will also find it great experience of shopping as art artisans from whole India has come to a festival there

Like the flea market there... Love the curtains... Good fabric and very reasonable price

CKP as it is called .Centre of art for 65 years.Now offers courses at two locations as Day and evening college. Day college @ Banashankari 6 stage 11 block , Bengaluru.

Very nice place and clean. Various Artfact and items are available at reasonable price

Absolutely love handicrafts. Good quality items and pricing. I hope more people will support handicrafts, if not it will tragically die off and become a lost art.

It was awesome... Its a must visit place if you love arts and crafts

One of the best location for art and craft in the capital. Natural landscape attracts more and more people. Best handicrafts exhibition place in Bangalore... A must visit place..

Chittara yesterday we went for there very expensive not for middle class family and another event vastrabarana that to high rate you dont imagine to bargain only same rate you need to buy if it is 10 thousand or what ridiculous......

Nice place to visit with family for small outing. We can see great paintings here. Always some or the other exhibition happens here and we can buy hand looms and crafted items. If you are crafted items lover plan to buy lot of decorative items for your home. There is canteen available for food we can get Tiffin items and mini meals and fruit juices. Even CPK conducts painting classes as well with weekends classes.

Very nice place to explore the art exhibition. Art gallery of kurunji flower was very beautiful. The video about earth was telling how fast man is growing with technology and exploiting earth.

Wonderful place for Arts & culture. Enjoyed Live show by artists

Glimpses of sustainable fashion.

Really enjoyed the visit..Lot of crafts, homedecore and accessories shops are set up there.

Excellent place to spend Sunday morning walking down miles of art work. Amazed to see so many participants displaying their paintings. Saw many artists getting inspired and starting a sketch on the spot. Lots of food stalls to ensure you never run out of things to eat. Place not to be missed. Happens only once a year, the first Sunday of every new year.

The exhibition is on going up to February 28 th is called as Netive Bazaar

Very good place to see the art works.

Happens only once a year, the first Sunday of every new year.CKP, as it is popularly known, has 18 galleries. 13 of these galleries carry a permanent collection of paintings, sculptures and folk art. It has a bachelors program for art and also short term courses.CKP also hosts many handicrafts exhibitions.

The exhibits and shows are a must go to for art and craft lovers!

The textile stalls (carpets and bed linen) were amazing. There is parking available for two wheeler and the entry to the Stall are free. There is also a canteen which was open till I was there (about 8:00pm and maybe after that as well). Bargaining is possible but dont be too harsh - the pieces sometimes are beautiful and worth every penny. This is much better than purchasing online especially ikkat, pochampally bedsheets and carpets.

For those who are interested in different art form , different style of paintings , this is the best place to get treat to the eyes !!

It is a very good place and great art works and wood crafts also very well. Its a Art world. Fantastic exhibition and buying clothes and Decor, jewellery also very well

Handicraft shops offer variety of products. Art work inside is also very good. Plenty to choose from

Very vast area... Good collections.. Very antique... Must visit.. Temporary shops closed as on November 2020...

Chitra Santhe are the best things to visit

Its nice to attend all kinds of handloom exhibitions here. But one major drawback is no parking space if u go late as it will be full.

Visual treat to the eyes. Food for thought to the brains.

It is a calm, pleasant, green and huge place. This is the must visit place for Art lovers. There will be various exhibitions about Photography, Arts, Sculptures and some handicraft sales. It is good place for shopping as well.This place is surrounded by old green trees and chirping of various birds which makes it even beautiful. Good getaway for relaxation and peacefulness.Apart, there are also various art related courses offered for children and adults.

Wonderful place to visit and so many new things to shop

Very nice place, with touch of our art and culture, among such beautiful greenery.

Excellent paintings exhibited at CPK

A wonderful place for art lovers. Huge art supply store next to Cafe. Good deals on bargains at the expo

My all time favourite asusal...this time it was really awesome visit with my sister from udupi ... complete Flea market of Art and pottery things ....which was really unique 👌👌👌...love to visit again & again ❤️❤️

A perfect place for art lovers to experience and explore versatile artworks showcased by many unique artists around India.Love to stroll through the colorful stalls with local handicrafts in the campus! Make sure to go into all the little nooks as some of the cutest shops are hiding off the main path.

Good place to spend time at chitrakala parishat. You have lots and variety of stalls for shopping. Cartoon photo gallery was nice. Overall a nice place to go n enjoy with family..

There was a really good exhibit here of rajasthani handicrafts etc. Loved visiting the art gallery as well. Will go again for sure!

Its a very amazing art gallery ❤️

I visited the exhibition which is currently going on. Stores got good collections from all range of things from pots to curtains to dresses to paintings to glass embodiment to statuses.

Great place to buy handicrafts, handlooms, unique stuff for home decor and gifting. The prices are insane though - need to bargain atleast to 70-50% of asked price.Specialy shoutout to a papad & achaar seller from Rajasthan. Genuine quality eatables. Enjoyment guaranteed.

Many kind of things you will get from there specialy god godess they made by hand in a wood looking so pretty..

Its a goto place for traditional attires and atinques! When in blru its a must visit..

I had a lot of fun looking at all the amazing art that was displayed in the exhibition on 6th Jan 2019. Some art works were truly breathtaking and it felt like some of the art works would just come to life and walk amongst us. Look at the photos for more details on what I was trying to say. The exhibition was crowded and the love for art in people was truly visible. The exhibition was well organized and all in all I had an amazing experience :)

Best place for the people who love paintings. Every year painting exhibition will be held here in the month of January. Painters with their beautiful paintings put up stall and people comes from where places to see and purchase those paintings.

Fantastic exhibition.. But arrangements sadly lacking considering the current monsoons. Poorly made stalls n overhead cover... Shoppers n shopkeepers were scurrying for cover n to protect their wares...

I visted the Souk Market. You can buy some unique things here.

I went this exhibition first time and I was totally surprised by it. So many artists painters with great works. Unique style and in so much abundance. You must visit when you have the opportunity. It happens once a year in month of January. India has so much untapped potential of artists unfortunately they do not get noticed and Value for their work.

CKP is a college for Art, also a hub for cultural and art exhibitions / events. Very beautiful place with lots of greenery, located in Kumarpark area of Bangalore. A place for antique jewellery / arts / crafts exhibitions

Went to the exhibit. Beautiful and unique pieces but be prepared to up your negotiation skills!

It is located within a beautiful campus, with lots of trees and artistically designed building. You can buy many house decors here.

The art exhibition by Manju Lata was good, the art gallery for modern art was impressive and finally we visited theArtisan Crafts Flea market, the colourful haul was a yoyo, top and a honey spoon.The Kala Kamat as usual served good food and outdoor seating. There is plenty of parking space at CKB, the ganesha temple is open with the pujari performing puja, helpful staff of the gallery. The best park is the 10/- ticket pet head for 30 permanent art installations at the museum, which has everything from sculptures to paintings. The greenery surrounding the art gallery is beautiful.

Its a cultural campus where several diverse exhibitions of visual arts & crafts are held with a educational academy. Visual arts center with diverse arts subjects taught at the academy. The place has good greens and has a great atmosphere. I loved the place. Must visit.

The Souq was awesome place to visit. Bought many Kurtis and jewelleries.

Went to Artisan Bazaar. Great collections and good pricesKids frock at 350Bed spreads(super King size) for 650Good quality céramic sets for attractive priceInstant brass collectionWooden carvings definitely lesser than market rates

The environment of Karnataka Chitra Kala Parishathlike The child sleeps in the lap of a calm environment .Proper information , well maintained University no I call it Temple of Art .

Your friendly home decor and home grown small business fair, now that the trend is like. Must must try if you live in Bangalore.

Serene, artistic, food-for-the-soul kinda place. Can spend hours here with no hassles or expectations.

Nice place to see and for purchasing art... Mainly food place for art lovers. Superb visual treat for eyes.. Entry ticket 10rs...

One of the best occasions for all the artists to showcase their talents... I expected much more... This is an happening event across south India. People across India or across the globe come here to buy paintings and other art work... A unique one.

One of the most exquisite taste in art can be found at this place... since its chithrasanthe today i really enjoyed looking at the new creative art works...and spoke to many artists...as an engineering student having love towards art and photography i felt its worth a sunday time!

We went during chitrakala santhe....it was awesome to see all those paintings.... there were 1500+ stalls and each and every art work was excellent....

Its one place for all artistic lovers where you can get all artistic materials , paintings etc frequently there will be mela where you can shop diff things which you cant get in normal markets or stalls totally worth for art lovers and shopping bees

Very good atmosphere and too plenty art works are there and art shows also there totally its heaven who are truly appreciate art

I looked forward for Chitra sante every year. Its always a enriching experience to see works of artists from all over India. There are new paintings every year and also more crowd. Its a welcoming sign to see many people buying paintings, which was not the case few years back. Its a great plateform for the artists to display and sell their works.

Awesome place to explore I loved it❤️

Wonderful Place for Painting & Photography Lovers... They conduct number of Exhibitions.. & their paintings are sooo good that one cannot hate a single photographs/paintings... Loved the place...

Very nice event to visit... We can see awesome paintings. Art works are mind-blowing. Best place to go with family and friends. If you are interested in art works... This is the best place to visit... Bit crowded and that can be neglected when you are enjoying with other things...

Once in a year opportunity to see this art fair where artists from all over the country showcase their beautiful and mind blowing arts and paintings. Plenty to admire and learn about art. Never miss it.

Great place for arts and crafts. I understand ppl who sell things there also have to spend a lot of money to setup a shop in that place. I found most of the things costly here, however I should agree that they are genuine and good quality products

Today visited this place for an art exhibition. Loved the place. Nice paintings and handicraft items and metal carvings. Enjoying the moments.

Great place to visit with family.small canteen and neat clean place. Only 10rs ticket to enter inside gallery. Photography not allowed. Everyday open 10am-5pm. Its totally different world to experience and peaceful place to spend in weekdays.

Well organised. Beautiful paintings . Artist from across the country had put up the stall. AT the end of the day when they had to take home so much of their painting back was saddening to see. Beautiful work by all

Great place for art lovers. Lots of exhibitions will be organised by different organisations. Must visit for art loversss.

Its beautiful place! I never get bored to visit ckp again and again! It cheers me with new ideas and help me understand the new set trends in the city and about different states! I appreciate the artists very much!! Its a good place to quench your artistic thirst !

Had been to Deepavali Shopping Carnival which had some great stalls with items from across the country.
