This milestone was officially presented on 7 February 2026 at Sanctuary Mall, Kuala Lumpur, celebrating a powerful fusion of creativity, cultural heritage, and family participation.
Bringing Cultural Heritage to Life Through Collective Creativity
Artsense Studio has distinguished itself as a cultural creative art education centre dedicated to nurturing creativity, cultural appreciation, and holistic development in children through experiential learning.
The ASEAN Records–recognised initiative brought together children and their parents to collaboratively hand-paint an 88-metre dragon artwork inspired by traditional dragon dance heritage.

A Community-Centred Art Experience in Action
Held from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM, the event unfolded through a structured programme that guided participants from registration and briefing to collaborative painting sessions. Children and parents worked side by side to complete different segments of the dragon artwork, while photography and video documentation captured the creative process and interactions throughout the day.
Upon completion, the painted sections were assembled into a single continuous dragon, followed by a dragon parade around the mall perimeter, allowing the artwork to be presented as a living cultural expression rather than a static display.
The successful completion of the artwork was formally announced on-site by ASEAN Records representatives, marking the culmination of a vibrant, family-oriented cultural celebration.

Inspiring the Next Generation Through Art and Heritage
This achievement reflects more than scale—it underscores the role of creative education in preserving cultural heritage while making it relevant to younger generations.
By placing children and families at the heart of the artistic process, Artsense Studio has demonstrated how cultural traditions can be passed on through participation rather than observation alone.
