Who We Are
Founded by a team with a shared vision on art and education, Hoppi provides arts experience and arts education to institutes, corporates, organizations and the general public.
The Unlimited Possibilities of Art
Hoppi is a combination of the words “Hope” and “Happy”, two of the most precious gifts from art and important qualities that our Hoppi instructors would like to bring to their learners through art performance, creation and education. The ‘i’ in Hoppi represents ‘I’, as individual personality and uniqueness of each learner is always respected. Through learning, having fun and creating art, we would love to offer learners opportunities to shine and get recognized in areas other than their work/studies. The infinity symbol in our logo represents both the unlimited possibilities of art and the unlimited potential of ourselves.
Performing Arts, Visual Arts & Handicrafts
Hoppi is a place for fun art experience and personal development - We invite corporates in various industries to give professional advice and instruction for our learners, and we provide or assist our learners to find suitable job opportunities, either as part-time work or businesses of their own. Art experiences include performance arts, visual arts and handicraft experience. They come in various forms such as workshops, courses and experience camps, in which participants can enjoy the fun of making art. Arts education involves not only the training of artistic skills, imagination power and creative ability, but also the training of qualities such as inner growth, sensitivity of observation, critical thinking, self-expression and self-esteem.
