10 reasons why everyone in Singapore should learn art

Therapy
Painting can be considered as an individual activity even if it is conducted as a workshop
or classroom. Through painting, the student enters into their own world. As quoted by
Twyla Tharp "Art is the only way to run away without leaving home."
Member Story - Queenie Kou

“Painting alone can be isolating. That's why I enjoy going to My Art Space. I make many friends there and Wen Shan's (instructor) insightful critiques on how to improve my paintings are another reason for turning up”.
Queenie Kou, Self-employed, Singapore
Why everyone should sketch

Exercising your creative mind is as important as exercising your body. Nothing else is as handy as carrying a sketchbook and of cause with a pencil.

Mable Cheng, Jewellery Designer
