Artlab is a great concept to take to people, give them tools not only the technical excellence but also the creativity and help them develop both those things.” Neil Shanks, Germany - Film Editor & Visiting Faculty at Artlab Madras |  |  | "The educational system is such that it lessens the opportunity for exploration at the expense of just becoming a consistent designer, lacking the opportunity for innovation… I think Artlab will be the vision that begins to change these things."
