Studies show that being exposed to art (including paintings, music and dance) at an early age develops brain activity, boosts knowledge and builds up one’s confidence level, self-esteem and communication skills.

And Global Art Philippines is such a place. It is a school where toddlers, kids and teenagers are encouraged to unleash their creative potential through world-class art enrichment programs which promotes self-expression through art.

Aside from determining who the best artists are, Saw and Global Arts Philippines hope that the said international competition will be an excellent opportunity for visiting delegates to realise, discover and explore the beauty of our country and the richness of our culture.

Since then, it has touched over 500,000 young artists’ minds and hearts in 15 countries including Malaysia, Singapore, India, Sri Lanka, Brunei, Indonesia, Thailand, Australia, Vietnam, China, USA, Cambodia, Myanmar, Hong Kong and the Philippines.
