TAS has begun training 5 students in a  3 year intensive course of study and practice, with a focus on traditional Tibetan painting, music, and woodwork. It offers courses in the following subjects: Tibetan Thangka Painting, Traditional Music, and Woodwork Training. The TAS project is located in Dadang township, Danang county, Shanan prefecture, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. This is 200km south of Lhasa on the way to Tsetang (Zedang).

The TAS project preserves Tibetan traditions, develops human capacity in local communities in southern Tibet, and improves the income of individuals and families. The products produced by the art school  are sold within and without China to help sustain the school, and also help alleviate poverty within the local rural communities of the Lhoka prefecture of Tibet.
