We are drawing at the Besant Nagar Beach, also known as Elliot’s Beach, this Saturday evening.

Edward Elliot’s Beach, popularly known as Besant Nagar Beach, is one of Chennai’s most beloved coastal spots. Named after Edward Elliot, a British officer, the beach also houses iconic landmarks like the Karl Schmidt Memorial, built in honor of a Dutch sailor who lost his life saving a swimmer. With its mix of natural beauty, local culture, and everyday life unfolding along the shore, Besant nagar beach offers a rich and vibrant setting for artists to observe, draw, and connect with the rhythm of the city.

You don’t need artistic skill to participate in this event – just boundless curiosity and a love for drawing. To connect with other participants, please use our Discord community Channel.
