Pod formed by like-minded artists? (6)
I believe the answer is:
school
I believe this is a double definition.
'pod' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)
'formed by like-minded artists?' is the second definition.
(eg Venetian school)
(Other definitions for school that I've seen before include "Instruct" , "Train (of thought?)" , "Discipline" , "Educational establishment" , "Institute of education" .)
