Indian city for crazy artists (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

madras

'indian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'crazy artists' is the wordplay.
'crazy' becomes 'mad' (synonyms).
'artists' becomes 'RA's' (Royal Academicians abbreviation).
'mad'+'ras'='MADRAS'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for madras that I've seen before include "something hot?" , "Former name of Indian city and state" , "Indian city now known as Chennai, and medium hot curry" , "Variety of curry" , "Tamil Nadu capital; a hottish curry" .)
