Closet poets, writers and painters seem to be getting increasingly locked into the closet with little time and space to explore their talent. To draw them out, they need a comfortable mess where they will not be bothered for a while, feels Akshay Lalchandani (below), founder of A Hidden Story, a venture that has organised the event The Artistic Mess. The event is aimed at providing the painters, poets and writers a space and uninterrupted time to be creative.
