“ART Learning Center” CSR 2025 Project

In 2025, BEM and BMN continued implementing activities under the “ART Learning Center” CSR initiative to promote art education among youth, school and university students, and the general public. The initiative aims to foster creativity, inspire learning, and enhance artistic capabilities through a variety of activities organized in collaboration with a network of art partners, distinguished artists, and Prof. Boonkwang Noncharoen, a master artist. By creating an inclusive and accessible space for art learning, the initiative encourages people of all ages to explore and develop their artistic potential.
