Inner Child — Children’s Art Exhibition & Live Piano Art Workshop

📅 Date: Sunday, 7 December 2025
📍 Location: Firepit Art Gallery
👧 Age group: 3-12 years old

Every child carries a world of imagination within.

Inner Child celebrates that creative voice through a heartfelt children’s art exhibition and an immersive music-and-art experience designed for ages 4–9.

Children will explore how music feels in their bodies and express those emotions through colour, movement, and drawing — guided by Dr Jing Wang and Octavia Yang.

Together, they invite children to listen, move, and paint their feelings — transforming sound into colour and imagination into form.

In today’s fast-paced world, this event offers children and parents a safe, friendly, and inspiring space to experience art and music together. Through hands-on creative activities, visual art, and live music, children can explore their emotions, express themselves freely, and engage all their senses in playful discovery.

🎨 Art allows children to give form to feelings that words cannot capture, nurturing imagination and self-expression.
🎶 Music supports focus, emotional awareness, and empathy, helping children tune into their inner world while enjoying the joy of sound and rhythm.
🌱 These creative experiences build confidence, resilience, and emotional intelligence — all essential for healthy development.

For parents, it’s also an invitation to reconnect with your own inner child, to see, feel, and create alongside your children in a relaxed, artistic environment, and to enjoy the shared wonder of discovery.

Holds dual PhD degrees from the University of Sheffield (UK) and Tohoku University (Japan), with academic training in philosophy and social well-being. For over a decade, she has devoted herself to exploring the deeper dimensions of human experience through extensive study and immersive practice across diverse philosophical, psychological, and cultural traditions.

An award-winning artist recognised by International Talent Support, and a trauma-informed creative facilitator certified by the Institute for Sensorimotor Art Therapy. Holding a Master of Arts degree from the University of the Arts London, she integrates art, the subconscious, somatic awareness, and Eastern contemplative wisdom to support inner reconnection and emotional release through spontaneous drawing and embodied expression.

Children will embark on a unique, immersive journey combining live music and creative art. Guided by Dr Jing Wang and Octavia Yang, participants will:

• Feel music with the body: Children will listen to live piano performance and explore how rhythm, melody, and harmony can move their bodies and spark imagination.
• Express emotions through art: Using colour, shapes, and spontaneous drawing, children translate the feelings music evokes into visual creations.
• Build sensory awareness and focus: Activities encourage mindfulness, attention, and connecting the senses to emotions.
• Boost confidence and creativity: By experimenting with movement and art in a supportive environment, children develop self-expression and creative problem-solving skills.

This is a hands-on, multi-sensory experience where children discover the joy of expressing themselves while parents witness the transformative power of art and music on emotional and creative growth.

Showcasing original artworks by children aged 4–9, this exhibition celebrates each child’s unique inner world, creativity, and self-expression. The pieces reflect a wide range of emotions, ideas, and imagination — from playful doodles and vibrant abstract shapes to thoughtful reflections of what matters to them.

Visitors will see how children translate feelings, curiosity, and personal experiences into visual form, creating a window into their thoughts, dreams, and perspectives. The exhibition highlights the value of letting children explore freely, encouraging confidence, emotional awareness, and pride in their creative achievements.
