is the first time in Bali.
We were in one way or another anxious about what is in store for us
for the next few days. We were all aware of the challenges lie we
were so used to. Thankfully, we had come to a place where
sources of inspiration are bountiful.

Bali itself is a cultural haven. The Balinese live and breathe art. Art
and culture are part of their daily lives. Ceremonies, rituals, dance
and music are seen and heard everywhere. Paintings, crafts,
architecture and interiors are delicately designed and crafted. You
can't help but be moved by the richness of Balinese art and culture.
Bali is also blessed with natural attractions, from sandy beaches to
paddy terraces, lakes and volcanoes. Many foreign artists including
Singapore's pioneer artists were equally inspired by this
enchanting land of art.
