Facilities
Today, the village houses a number of art galleries, museums, and an open-air theatre on the site also houses dance and theatre performances. The original Artists Handicrafts Association is still in charge of the colony, and Paniker's son, sculptor S. Nandagopal, is the Secretary of the Village. Out of the original forty artists, many are no more, and some have moved out, only twenty one remain today, and Cholamandal does not accept new members, though it has at least a dozen artists living or working there at any time in the year, plus many artists-in-residence are also at work here.
The village is open daily from 10am to 5pm. It is 10 minute walking distance from the Golden Beach. Local transport is now easily available and the Chennai International Airport the nearest airport.
