The Art Village

After Friends-of-the-Arts foundation established many public charity activities including workshops, Festivals and dance educational projects that has developed Thai youths to become professionals. We have an initiative to realise our dream for FOTAF to create an ‘Art Village’, our future home dedicated to ‘Education through Movement’ with various life-style learning techniques such as:
⦁ Creative / Thinking / Knowledge
⦁ Expression / Movement
⦁ Mindfulness/ Happiness
Summary Conceptual Brief:
⦁To develop a small creative village environment.
⦁Fully equipped dance-studios (one 12 x 10 meters + two 6 X 10 meters (+ or -).
⦁Open-air theatre space for contemporary and unique performances.
⦁Space for creating art pieces ie pottery painting etc.
