New CRE8 project ongoing!
Our artists in residence are currently working with a group of children on a new CRE8 collaborative project.

First of all, I am excited about my upcoming time here at the Thaillywood Artist Residency and grateful to be a part of this amazing overall Thaillywood experience.
