Human beings are incurably artistic, and we – as individuals, as groups, as a civilization – need an artistic resource.” Anticipation” is not just a tool for Bangkok’s artists. It is about the hard work of fresh, innovative, bold, and creative thinking by the founder of Artist Society, Amie Cal. She envisions that this event will lead to the creation of an authentic impact on culture and the community. It will be a catalyst for the cross-pollination of the various mediums and forms of arts, resulting in an entirely new experience for the artists and the audience. There will be no universal description for the ‘Otherside’ of this event. For the new audience and art enthusiasts alike, Anticipation will enrich the soil that nourishes their artistic curiosity. All the senses will be satisfied, including the existential sensibility revealed through a deep sigh from somewhere within the soul. ‘Anticipation’ will be a powerful reminder that, “…art, by its very nature, is an experience of sharing. Thus we listen, we watch, and we allow ourselves to be part of this ongoing creation of that which is good and beautiful. That which serves to help those who have less materially is of natural consequence. When one’s soul is filled, one reaches out to nourish others – both body and soul.”

Who is the Artist Society?

Artist Society is a non-profit support group consisting of individuals who share a desire to help others through creative and communicative art. We are a group of ‘artist and art apprentices’, who believe that we can positively impact and influence our community through visual, creative and performing arts. We believe that self-expression through the process of creating art is both a channel of emotional connection and also empowers both the artist and the wider community.

We are an international network of artists, of different nationalities and cultural backgrounds. The artists who are currently providing direction to Artist Society are based in Bangkok, Thailand.
