We aim to build an open and compassionate society, and believe that this transformation begins with each individual. We strive to provide a safe environment that ignites creative confidence and inspires members to cultivate holistic growth.
Our vision
We envision a community that nurtures the Body, Mind, and Spirit through arts, fostering creative confidence, holistic growth and love.
Our mission
We aim to make creative expression accessible and enriching for everyone through a holistic approach.
Gowld Art Centre provides diverse forms of creative expression to a wide range of individuals. We encourage and guide the youth to explore their artistic potential, the general public to seek personal growth, and aspiring artists to hone their skills. In order to meet these diverse needs, we offer a variety of programs, including but not limited to: regular art program, short course, workshops, and tailor-made events.
Our name
“Gowld” is derived from the Chinese character 覺, which embodies the concepts of enlightenment and mastery.
覺 signifies the realisation of one’s potential through vision and creativity. Our aim is to create an environment that enhances sensory perception (感覺), sharpens discretionary quality (知覺), and fosters self-awareness (自覺).
Our logo
The essence of our philosophy is to pursue alignment by integrating the arts into our lives.
The triangular shape symbolises the interdependence of Body, Mind, and Spirit: the Body as our vessel, the Mind as our bridge, and the Spirit as our essence. The logo is created in a single brushstroke to represent the journey of alignment through the practice of arts in life.
