Meet Our CEO
After relocating to Kalaw three years ago, CEO Kyel Sin Lin identified a need for social development through art, particularly in underserved areas.
She initiated a platform to unite local artists and the community,
providing a space for them to showcase their creations and gain
community appreciation.
Beyond this, she passionately believes that art can positively influence children’s lives, fostering development in areas like overcoming challenges, social skills, and creativity, shaping their future careers.
She firmly believes that any form of art has the power to narrate stories, reshape our life perspectives, and support individuals’ career income.
