Epic Moves for Inclusion this April
What's been happening at Epic Arts.
This month, we proudly celebrated World Autism Awareness Day, standing up for inclusion and the unique strengths of neurodiverse individuals. From vibrant performances to powerful partnerships, April was all about connection!
We joined key dialogues with the Ministry of Social Affairs and took part in the NEP 6th Conference, helping shape a more inclusive education system for all.
One standout moment? Our “Count Me In” dance, performed by Epic Arts students and Epic Arts Dance, wowed audiences at the 12th Cambodian Day of Persons with Disabilities, a true celebration of ability and belonging.
Together, we’re building a more inclusive Cambodia, where everyone counts. 🌟
To all our incredible supporters, thank you. Your continued belief in our mission helps us champion a world where every person counts (EPiC). 🙌

Events and Performances
What happens when world class opera singers, a historic concert hall and a passion for inclusion come together? A magical evening that moves hearts and changes lives!
On Monday, 12 May, Epic Arts is honoured to be the beneficiary of Lyrisme Solidaire, a Charity Opera Gala held at the stunning Salle Cortot in the heart of Paris. This isn’t just any concert, it’s a celebration of creativity, compassion and community, with every note sung in support of our work in Cambodia.
Thanks to our incredible partners at La Lune dans les Yeux, this gala will feature an all star lineup of opera singers and pianists who are generously donating their time and talents. Their goal? To help raise funds for Epic Arts’ inclusive arts programs that empower children and young adults with disabilities to express themselves, grow in confidence and build brighter futures.
Whether you’re an opera aficionado or just someone who loves seeing art create real change, this evening promises to be truly special.
Why does this matter?
At Epic Arts, we believe in a world where every person counts. This event isn’t just about raising funds (although that helps!) it’s about raising awareness and sharing the message that disability is not a limitation and that everyone deserves a chance to shine.

Khmer New Year Fun – Let the Good Times Flow! 🎉
From April 14–17 all of Cambodia was buzzing with New Year celebrations, and Epic Arts were right there in the spirit of it all! We threw a big staff party full of traditional games, music, dancing and a lot of laughter.
Khmer New Year, or Choul Chnam Thmey, is one of the biggest holidays in Cambodia, marking a fresh start, blessings for the year ahead and time to reconnect with loved ones. Across the country, people celebrated with water fights, temple visits and lots of delicious food.
We had an absolute blast celebrating culture, community and connection, three things that make Epic Arts shine all year round! 💛
