In 2007, a young boy named Siddarth enrolled at a Globalart centre in Alwarpet, Chennai—simply because he enjoyed drawing. What began as a fun after-school activity soon became a lifelong passion. After completing the Globalart Programme, Siddarth pursued Art and Design at the prestigious National Institute of Design (NID), worked with the Philips Innovation Campus, and later earned a Master’s in Design from Harvard University in 2025.

Siddarth’s journey is one of many inspiring stories that demonstrate the power of nurturing artistic talent from an early age. At Globalart, we don’t just teach children how to draw—we help them observe, imagine, think independently, and express themselves with confidence. These are skills that empower them not only in art but throughout their lives.

Founded in Malaysia in 1999 by artist, designer, and educator Mahair Goh, Globalart has grown into one of the world’s leading creative education programmes for children. Today, Globalart is present across 23 countries, inspiring young learners through its structured and internationally recognised art curriculum that develops artistic abilities alongside essential life skills.

At Globalart, we believe every child is naturally creative. With the right environment and guidance, they can discover their unique voice, build artistic confidence, strengthen creative thinking, and develop problem-solving skills that prepare them for the future.

Using a carefully designed, step-by-step curriculum, the Globalart Programme caters to children across different age groups and learning abilities. Guided by professionally trained and passionate teachers in an inspiring learning environment, every child is encouraged to explore, experiment, and create independently. Our focus is not simply on producing beautiful artwork, but on nurturing imagination, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning.

Globalart in India

Inspiring Young Minds Since 2005

Globalart was introduced in India by SIP Academy in 2005 with its first centre in Chennai. Since then, it has grown into India’s largest international after-school art programme, with a presence across 7 states and 150+ centres.

For over two decades, Globalart India has empowered 100,000+ children through structured art education that goes beyond drawing and colouring. Our internationally designed curriculum helps children develop creativity, observation, concentration, visual thinking, and problem-solving skills—abilities that benefit them both academically and personally.

Today, hundreds of Globalart alumni have pursued successful careers in creative fields such as design, architecture, animation, and fine arts. Many others have gone on to excel in professions including engineering, medicine, business, and technology, where innovative thinking and creative problem-solving continue to play an important role.

At Globalart, we believe art is more than a subject—it is a powerful tool that helps children think differently, express themselves confidently, and prepare for a future filled with opportunities.

Mahair Goh

Founder & Group CEO, Globalart Inc.

Artist, designer, and educator Mahair Goh founded Globalart in Malaysia in 1999 with a vision of transforming the way children learn art.

Having spent more than three decades working with children, he recognised that art education should go beyond teaching drawing techniques. It should inspire imagination, encourage independent thinking, and help children develop essential life skills that support lifelong success.

Driven by his passion for art and education, he designed Globalart’s unique, structured, skill-based curriculum and established the very first Globalart centre in Malaysia. Today, Globalart has grown into one of the world’s leading creative education brands, operating across 23 countries and empowering over one million students worldwide.

His philosophy, “Art is Life. Live Creatively.”, continues to inspire the Globalart community and is reflected in the brand’s enduring tagline, “Think Creative.”

Dinesh Victor

Founder & Managing Director, SIP Academy India

Recognising that creativity is one of the most valuable skills of the future, Dinesh Victor has been instrumental in building Globalart India into the country’s leading international after-school art programme. Under his leadership, thousands of children have discovered their artistic potential while developing confidence, imagination, and critical thinking skills that extend far beyond the classroom.

Why Choose Globalart?

Building Creative Thinkers for Life

At Globalart, we believe art is more than learning to draw—it’s a journey that helps children discover their
potential, express themselves confidently, and develop skills that last a lifetime.

Our internationally recognised programme combines structured art education with creative exploration,
helping children build a strong artistic foundation while nurturing essential life skills.

Whether your child dreams of becoming an artist or simply wants to build confidence and creative thinking
skills, Globalart provides the right foundation for lifelong learning.

Here’s why parents choose Globalart:

Build a Strong Foundation in Art

Children learn drawing, colouring, composition, perspective, and a variety of artistic techniques through a carefully structured curriculum that progresses with their age and ability.

Develop Skills That Go Beyond Art

Our programme encourages creative thinking, observation, concentration, imagination, visual expression, problem-solving, and independent thinking—skills that support success both inside and outside the classroom.

Learn Through a Proven International Curriculum

Developed over 25+ years, the Globalart curriculum is designed to suit different learning styles and age groups, ensuring every child progresses with confidence.

Guided by Passionate and Certified Teachers

Every Globalart teacher undergoes comprehensive training in our internationally recognised methodology, creating a nurturing environment where every child receives personalised guidance and encouragement.

India’s Largest International After-School Art Programme

With 20+ years in India, 150+ centres, and 100,000+ children trained, Globalart has earned the trust of parents across the country by consistently delivering meaningful learning experiences.

Our Methodology

Where Learning Meets Imagination

Every child learns differently.

That’s why the Globalart Programme follows a structured yet flexible approach that encourages children to learn at their own pace while developing confidence in their abilities.

Our internationally designed curriculum combines artistic techniques with guided exploration, enabling children to think independently rather than simply copy what they see.

Each learner receives specially designed workbooks and learning materials that encourage observation, experimentation, and creative expression. Through carefully planned activities, children gradually build their skills while enjoying every step of their learning journey.

Rather than instructing children exactly what to draw, our teachers act as facilitators—asking questions, encouraging ideas, and helping learners transform their thoughts into meaningful artistic creations.

The true strength of the Globalart methodology lies not only in the artwork children produce, but in the creative process they experience. Along the way, they develop confidence, patience, concentration, problem-solving abilities, and the courage to express their own ideas.

This is what makes Globalart different from conventional drawing classes.
