What we’re about
What does "living well" mean to you?
This group was created by a Singaporean artist and a Japanese wanderer, in order to explore well-being with arts.
By exploring, we mean open-minded communications, experiencing art together, diving into introspection and many other creative ways.
Anyone is welcomed, regardless of artistic background.
We mainly speak English, but we can also communicate in Chinese and Japanese.
We also created an Instagram account quite recently (As of Dec 18th 2024).
