The Art School Gayatri Art School – often simply called Art School – is a cultural center located on the outskirts of the village of Alankuppam, near Auroville. Every weekend, around 120 children from nearby villages gather here to learn dancing and musical instruments under professional guidance. Additionally, they receive lessons in computer skills and English conversation. There is also plenty of time and space for playing and sports activities. The children come from poor families with limited resources. Therefore, they are also provided with a healthy meal. All activities and facilities at the Art School are completely free of charge, including dance attire. The Art School consists of two buildings with several rooms, toilets, a kitchen, communal rooms, rooftops and a big garden. 24
