Acrylic To Global : TNNUA
As Christmas arrives and the year draws to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on a journey that brought industry, creativity, and education together in a deeply
meaningful way.
This winter,
Sing Mas participated in the Transparent Material Experimental Exhibition, an art–education collaboration with Tainan National University of the Arts (TNNUA). Joining as a material provider alongside supply-chain partners, we worked closely
with students from diverse disciplines—including fiber and textile, metalwork, and ceramics—to explore how acrylic could interact with different professional languages.
Throughout the process, students and industry partners learned side by side. From early sketches and concepts to physical realization, this collaboration required
far more than materials alone. We invested time, labor, technical expertise, and most importantly,
creativity—from both academic and industrial perspectives—to turn ideas into reality.
One especially meaningful aspect of this exhibition was the use of NG products and production waste from our own manufacturing process. Materials that would normally
be overlooked were reintroduced into the creative process, transformed by artists into thoughtful and visually compelling works. Seeing waste materials gain new purpose reminded us that value does not disappear—it simply waits for a new perspective.
Working alongside artists and students encouraged our team to see acrylic beyond its traditional industrial role—as a medium capable of carrying emotion, narrative,
and shared values. Through creative expression, materials became tools for reflection and connection.
This experience also expanded our understanding of acrylic’s potential. By combining it with other materials and crafts—approaches that were not part of our original
considerations—we discovered new aesthetic possibilities and new business angles for future development.
We close this exhibition with gratitude and quiet excitement. It was a beautiful ending to a year of exploration—and at the same time, the beginning of
new conversations between industry, creativity, and circular design.
