About Prodigy Art Workshops
Prodigy Art Workshops is an art workshop for young talented artists and art lovers. The purpose for the workshop is geared towards developing the creative abilities and talents of young innovative prodigies in the fields of arts.
Our main aim is to encourage the child who loves to create art to continue and refine the God-given ability and talent in them at their very early stage. Currently our workshops are centred on the visual arts. We also hope to raise and discover prodigies in art during our workshops.
