KICKSTART ART AT A GLANCE
Here at Kickstart Art, we are driven by a single goal: to bring art, and art therapy to the lives of migrant students living on the Thailand / Myanmar border. These children have often experienced poverty, homelessness, and in extreme circumstances, trafficking or sexual abuse.
We aim to make their lives more colourful through art classes and fun creative outlets.
Every week, we travel 250km...

COMMUNITY EVENTS
Helping Build A
Stronger Community
We host regular events and workshops for all to attend. We believe that all members of our community can achieve greater things when they have a space to bring them together.
ART-IN-SCHOOLS
Bringing Colour to
Migrant Schools
Our flagship project works with 15 migrant schools and more than 1200 children. We run weekly art and art therapy sessions using a variety of materials and approaches.
LOCAL ARTIST SUPPORT
Providing a Platform and Employment Opportunities
Kickstart Art currently employs three local artists to head our Art-in-Schools project. We also hold regular exhibitions and events where local artists can display and sell their artwork.
