Journalism of Courage
The city recently got its first open art gallery Art Hub – at Grubshup,Law College Road. This new concept will allow an artist to exhibit his/her work completely free of cost. And while this will enable artists,both amateurs and well-established ones,to sustain their creative pursuits,it will also bring art within the reach of buyers as the works will be at substantially lower prices. Through the month,there will be three slots of 10 days each – two slots for artists with considerable seniority followed by a slot solely dedicated to amateurs,hobbyists,art students and the like. So if you got a flair for painting,you now have a place to show off your creativity.
In splits!
After a successful first year in Mumbai,The Comedy Store,with its established performers,has planned a special comedy tour – Comedy To Go to Pune. Six of the best international stand-up comedians will take centrestage at The Hyatt Regency on June 15 and June 29 and they promise to leave the city in splits with their doses of uproarious comedy! Laugh riots Imran Yusuf,Glen Wool and Hal Cruttenden will perform on June 15 while June 29 will see another trio of acclaimed international stand-ups – Rob Deering,Roger Monkhouse and Andre Vincent! For the uninitiated,the Comedy Store UK was set up by Don Ward in 1979 and it laughed its way into India with the store in Mumbai. And now,it is all set to take Pune by storm.
