Description of Services:
Volunteer placement and coordination. At Cultural Canvas Thailand, we have thoughtfully selected projects and partner organizations that are both of great interest to our team and great importance to the Chiang Mai community. In doing so, we have created a volunteer program and an artistic outreach program (Canvas Art Program) that delves deep into the community where volunteers are most needed.

Accomplishments & Progress:
Cultural Canvas Thailand (CCT) has recently launched the Canvas Art Program. The Canvas Art Program believes in providing a VOICE for individuals by exploring various creative means, including visual, performance and experimental arts. Here at the CCT Art Program we believe that art is a tool for change. Our mission for the Canvas Art Program is to promote expression and cultivate the creativity that lies inside each individual. We use art to create an atmosphere of inclusion and belonging where often there is none. Art is used as a catalyst for releasing and challenging personal and societal stresses whilst encouraging cultural changes and awareness.
