Our Story
We are a not-for-profit organization “Melbourne Artists Inc.” founded by Warpan Djoyo and Candy Ng.
Warpan Djoyo started the art community in Nov 2018. He has a vision that art journey does not have to be alone. It is very important for artists to work together, learn the best practices and support each other. It took 3 years for him to form a team who shares the same belief and also passionate in helping other artists. They worked together closely to bring this idea into reality. In June 2021 Melbourne Artists Inc. officially become a not for profit organisation.
