arts-ED is a non-profit organization (NPO) based in Penang, Malaysia which specializes in innovative community-based arts and culture education for young people and adult communities. Our work is focused on empowering communities to develop awareness of their cultural assets through mapping, documentation, promotion and celebration of culture.
Our vision is to help sustain local culture and diversity through creative hands-on approaches to education that emphasize the relationship between arts, culture and life.
arts-ED projects are run in community settings and are organized around the theme of ‘arts, culture and heritage’. The theme helps participants connect with their own environment, cultural assets and community and encourages learning around real issues, values and meaning.
We work in collaboration with institutions, arts educators, artists, and community activists to promote culture education at a local and regional level. Our innovative approach has been emulated by other non-profit organizations within Malaysia as well as in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.

Finding a Path Through the Juke Box: The Playlist TutorialBen Fields
The simple playlist, in its many forms – from the radio show, to the album, to the mixtape has long been a part of how people discover, listen to and share music. As the world of online music grows, the playlist is once again becoming a central tool to help listeners successfully experience music. Further, the playlist is increasingly a vehicle for recommendation and discovery of new or unknown music. More and more, commercial music services such as Pandora, Last.fm, iTunes and Spotify rely on the playlist to improve the listening experience. In this tutorial we look at the state of the art in playlisting. We present a brief history of the playlist, provide an overview of the different types of playlists and take an in-depth look at the state-of-the-art in automatic playlist generation including commercial and academic systems. We explore methods of evaluating playlists and ways that MIR techniques can be used to improve playlists. Our tutorial concludes with a discussion of what the future may hold for playlists and playlist generation/construction.

The Negro spiritual, a uniquely American art form, is credited by some cultural commentators for the survival of African American people through slavery, Jim Crow, racism and the civil rights struggle. It speaks poignantly of a people’s belief in God’s ability to protect them and propel them into a better future. Often, against all odds, the musical idiom known as the African American spiritual, gave those who struggled against injustice the faith and strength to keep moving forward.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
