Art & Culture Programs
By organizing arts and cultural events, exhibitions, and competitions, we can not only promote the arts to the general public but also inspire students to participate in artistic creation and cultural exploration. Participation in competitions can help students develop their creative skills, increase their confidence, and cultivate their critical thinking skills. This will help them become more successful and influential in their future careers.
We focus on students’ holistic growth. By participating in competitions, they will learn how to face challenges and difficulties, which is a very important skill in their lives. In addition, arts and culture inspire dreams and passions and provide a stage to showcase talents and potential. We encourage students to pursue their dreams and help them explore and develop their potential. It is valuable for promoting the development of arts and culture and students’ artistic capabilities and critical thinking skills, which contribute to the development of a culturally diverse community and facilitate the growth of future artists and intellectuals.
X Art Exhibition
The X Art Exhibition Project, in collaboration with other organizations, provides autistic children with an opportunity to develop their abilities through art activities such as painting and ceramics. Through these art activities, autistic children are exposed to a variety of materials, thus nurturing their potential and providing real-world development opportunities. To help autistic children enhance their life skills and return to school and society, the Association and autism rehabilitation organizations hold art events, such as small playgroups and art creations in painting, which provide opportunities for family unity. The painting events promote the children’s cognitive, emotional, creative, and social abilities.
X T-shirt
The theme for the T-shirt design is positive energy, encouraging students to use their artistic creativity to express thoughts and emotions related to life, love, hope, and beauty. We will help students turn the best designs into actual T-shirts, allowing them to experience the impact of their creativity while sharing these positive values with a broader community. The proceeds from T-shirt sales will be donated to the BC Children's Hospital Foundation, offering support to children in need. This not only empowers the students by allowing them to see the impact they can have, but also fosters their growth and sense of social responsibility. The event enriches the students' lives and has a positive impact on society.
Event is limited to students of Canada X Academy of Art and Design.
