Art Temple, founded by Alana Fairchild and Thi Nguyen, is a multidisciplinary art studio dedicated to creating work that nourishes the spirit, uplifts communities, and sparks joy.
Our practice flows across installation, performance, visual art, sound, and interactive media, weaving together sensory experience with deeper contemplative and cultural narratives. Guided by the aspiration to spiritually benefit all beings, we approach each project with an open curiosity — seeking new ways art can connect, heal, and help shape a better world.
We see curiosity as the seed of transformation, the spark that allows people to imagine what might be possible beyond the familiar. Whether through a luminous installation that transforms a public space, a participatory performance inviting strangers to share stories, or a meditative soundscape designed for quiet reflection, our work creates environments where people can reconnect to themselves, to each other, and to the world around them.
Our practice is informed by cross-cultural perspectives and spiritual traditions, yet rooted in contemporary art discourse — bringing play and crafted detail to each project. We work intuitively and collaboratively, often inviting people into the creative process — not simply as audiences, but as co-creators. This approach fosters a shared sense of creative agency and connection, ensuring that the work resonates on both individual and collective levels.
Our projects have been presented in galleries, festivals, and public spaces locally and internationally, recognised for our poetic integration of form, meaning, and social purpose. From immersive light environments to collaborative art experiences, we continue to cross borders creatively — while remaining deeply committed to the idea that art can be a luminous bridge to a better, kinder world.
Ultimately, we believe that curiosity and compassion are vital forces for change. In a world often marked by division and disconnection, we use our art to open doorways — into beauty, into empathy, and into the shared work of creating a future where all beings can thrive.
