Art Unites, World Ignites
A Creative Journey Beyond Borders: The Story of APAF
Welcome to the Asia Pacific Arts Festival (APAF), a dynamic cultural extravaganza that transcends borders and celebrates the unifying force of art and creativity. Our journey began in 2016 when visionary founder Mr. Adrian Soo envisioned a platform that would foster mutual understanding, cooperation, and the advancement of the arts.
The Vision Unfolds: A Universal Language of Art
From its inception, APAF aimed to achieve global peace and unity by harnessing the universal language of the arts. Through music, dance, visual arts, and photography, APAF seeks to connect people, kindle a love for creativity, cultivate friendships, and promote world peace.
Distinctive Features: What Sets Us Apart
1. Recognition and Awards: APAF offers participants a stage to showcase their talents. Renowned adjudicators review performances and award distinctions such as Distinction Gold, Gold, Silver, and Bronze trophies, along with certificates of participation. The top three winners in each category receive prestigious titles: Festival Championship, 1st Runner Up, and 2nd Runner Up.
2. International Friendship Exchange: Our festival is a melting pot of cultures, attracting participants from more than 13 countries. Through cultural exchange, we promote mutual respect and understanding, strengthening international relations by showcasing characteristic arts from each country and engaging in gift exchanges. This exchange raises awareness of the importance of music, national pride, and respect for other nations.
3. Team Building: Beyond the stage, we emphasize team building, fostering collaboration and teamwork among participants. Fun team-building exercises allow individuals to connect in new ways, building skills like communication and camaraderie.
4. Cultural Enrichment: APAF’s programs extend beyond competitions to encompass music and dance workshops led by qualified adjudicators with renowned reputations in ASEAN. These workshops empower participants to think creatively, pursue their passions, and make a positive impact on the world through the power of music and the performing arts.
5. City Tours: Our city tours offer a fresh perspective on the host cities, allowing participants to explore their unique attractions and cultural heritage, enhancing their overall festival experience.
