It's World Art Day today, an international celebration of the fine arts, but also of all forms of art which nurtures creativity, innovation and cultural diversity. It is also used as an occasion to shine a light on arts education in schools, and we'll be speaking to Lim Soon Heng from the KL Shakespeare Players, about how their group has adapted to the times, in order to continue safely providing art education to Malaysian students.
