About ARTS TALK
Art is a summary of life experiences.
Arts Talk is a project which gathers together renowned artists from different fields such as music, theater or movie domains for sharing their thought about art with the public, telling us how art can communicate and resonate with its audience.
Creative work is like an extension of every incident in one's life. The accumulation of your everyday experience, the moments when your imagination runs wild, and your persistent cultivation of hobbies can all be the sources of your inspiration, enabling you to write stories that recount your memories of life.
So why not do some brainstorming to see which part of your life, no matter how trivial it is, can be turned into a work of art?
Arts Talk gives you an opportunity to interact directly with art and brings wonderful surprises into your life!
