Both workshops enrich the visitor experience, providing opportunities for visitors to not only appreciate art, but also create their own.
The diversity of artworks on display, coupled with the interactive workshops, created a mesmerizing creative mosaic. Each corner of the exhibition and workshop sessions offered a unique experience, with diverse interpretations of the “Home Sweet Home” theme.
Malang Creative Center as the exhibition venue was the perfect setting for this event. Its vast spaces are not only filled with stunning works of art, but also a place to learn and create through the workshops held.
It is hoped that this event full of enthusiasm, creativity, and learning can further introduce and advance art in Malang, as well as inspire a new generation of artists to continue working and innovating.
