ttb invites public to 9,000-bottle-cap youth art exhibition at fai-fah Art Fest 2026

The fai-fah programme by ttb foundation continues to hold its annual art and performance exhibition, fai-fah Art Fest 2026, as reported on 21 October 2026, providing a space for youth from all five fai-fah learning centres to showcase their potential to the public. This year's event highlights the Art for Earth concept, turning creative work into a medium that encourages everyone to adopt a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. This approach also aligns with the ttb blue planet initiative and the Make REAL Change philosophy, which aims to create positive change for the world starting with oneself.

Exhibition highlights from waste materials and projection systems

This exhibition reinforces the perspective that ordinary children are beautiful by presenting artwork that reflects the growth of youth. A featured work at the event is a piece titled Insertion, which uses more than 9,000 bottle caps that were once waste to create a natural landscape image, inviting viewers to see new value in human-made objects. Furthermore, it is supported by Epson Thailand, which brought in a projector system to add dimension and vitality to the artwork, inspiring endless further artistic creation.

Creating sustainable opportunities and passing on knowledge to society

Ms Kanchanaluck Bumrungtin, Chief People Officer at ttb, stated that holding the event annually helps youth learn about the outside world and take pride in themselves through works that have evolved from painting to modern animation and digital media. Activities at the learning centres also pass on inspiration to visitors and employees to participate in giving back to society. The organisation aims to build a mindset among youth to seek opportunities and develop their potential to adapt to the modern world, enabling them to become self-reliant and support their families.

Mr Settasiri Chanapai, a senior member from the fai-fah Bangkok Noi learning centre and creator of Insertion, shared that practising art skills seriously helped him discover his aptitude, leading to his current studies in sculpture at Poh-Chang Academy of Arts. He views the fai-fah Art Fest platform as an important foundation that helps youth gain experience and build a portfolio for further education applications or various art competitions. Today, he brings his knowledge back to offer free supplementary art tutoring for university entrance preparation to underprivileged youth, while aiming to become an artist exhibiting works both domestically and internationally.

This event is of interest to event organisers and hotel professionals, who can apply the concept of venue decoration using waste materials combined with projector systems to sustainable events. Meanwhile, travellers and art enthusiasts can draw inspiration from the story of turning waste into valuable pieces. This news reflects the power of creative work in developing youth potential alongside tangible environmental care.
