Nuanu Creative City and Genius Group Limited (NYSE American: GNS) have officially announced their joint venture to launch Genius City in Bali, a special district within Nuanu focused on advancing education in the region. With education as a core foundation of the creative city, Genius City will serve as a blueprint for how AI-powered learning can harmoniously coexist with human connection. Valued at a total of $14 million, the project aims to deliver the best in future-focused education to the public.

“For us learning is an exciting part of the journey,” said Lev Kroll, CEO of Nuanu Creative City. “We believe in continuous education – formal and informal as both the source of happiness and the best engine to do better. And finding partners to learn together and provide exciting learning opportunities to others is an immense privilege. We are excited to explore how technologies could influence and shape education while furthering Nuanu as a place of both innovation and opportunities.”

The agreement between Nuanu Creative City and Genius Group includes two main projects. The first is the collaboration with ProEd Global School, which will integrate the Genius School model and the Genius Apprentice program into its current curriculum, expanding the educational offering at Genius City to extra curriculum education in technology, with AI as the main subject. The second project involves the ownership and development of Nuanu’s corporate retreat and entrepreneur community spaces, which will include conference facilities, and spaces for accelerators, retreats, and workshops.

Roger James Hamilton, CEO of Genius Group, said, “We have been in discussions with Nuanu for the past year, and we are excited to take the next step in launching our Genius City model in partnership with this creative city. We have a unique opportunity to reimagine the future of education within a fully operational city of the future, where residents and visitors can learn the ABCs of tomorrow within a high-tech, high-touch economy, ecology, and environment.”

Both Nuanu and Genius anticipate that annual revenue from the two projects will exceed $20 million, with annual profits expected to reach $6 million within four years. This collaboration will represent one of the largest educational investments in Bali, fostering a new generation of globally ready learners from the island.

Spanning 44 hectares of creative landscape, Nuanu Creative City welcomes 23 artists from across Indonesia, from Bali to Kalimantan, for Liana Reverie: Vivid Colours, a group exhibition exploring the relationship between humans, nature, and imagination. On view at Labyrinth Art Gallery from 8 November 2025 to 20 January 2026, the exhibition is a collaboration between Labyrinth Art Gallery, LucyDream Art, and Philo ArtSpace, underscoring Nuanu’s commitment to artistic collaboration and cultural growth in Bali.

“Artists exploring how harmony that can exist between people and the natural world is something close to heart for us,” said Lev Kroll, CEO of Nuanu Creative City. “It reflects our belief that creativity and ecology belong together, that art can preserve cultural identity and strengthen the collaborative spirit that lies at the heart of Nuanu.”

Building on this spirit, the exhibition brings together 23 artists from Java, Bali and Kalimantan, including: A.M. Dante, Aly Waffa, Andi Sules, Anthok S, Aris Suantara, Ayu Murniati, Egy Alfandy, Ermy Herfika, Holy, I Ketut Putrayasa, I Nyoman Sujana Kenyem, Irena Adre Isabella, Keke Kendisan, Made Gunawan, Moelyoto, Ni Komang Atmi Kristiadewi, Ni Wayan Sutariyani, Putu Adi Suweca, Rangga Pamungkas, Reza Olitalia, Rezzo Masduki, Tatang B.Sp, and Tommy F. Awuy.

The exhibition unfolds as a collective reflection on how humanity can rediscover its place within the natural world, through vivid colours, organic materials and a renewed sense of interdependence. Each work draws viewers into a dialogue between imagination and ecology, breathing life into the gallery space.

The title Liana refers to the woody climbing plant found in tropical forests, used here as a metaphor for connection within ecosystems. The exhibition extends this symbolism to portray the intertwined relationship between humans and nature, much like how Nuanu itself is rooted in the landscape, animated by artistic expression, and strengthened by human connection.

“We’re proud to present our artists in this group exhibition at Labyrinth Art Gallery, in partnership with our long-time collaborator Jati Nusa Lestari,” said Amalia Ahmad, Founder of Philo ArtSpace. “Together, we share a vision to unite art, nature, and humanity. Guided by the belief that art can awaken awareness and inspire transformation, this partnership supports Jati Nusa Lestari’s greening initiative, empowering communities and protecting the natural world. More than an exhibition, it’s a movement of giving, where creativity becomes an act of care and connection with the Earth.”

“Our participation reflects our belief in art as an expression of emotion, light, and connection, a way to mirror the pulse of life itself. We’re proud to participate in this group exhibition with Labyrinth Art Gallery to support artists whose works explore harmony and transformation within nature’s ever-evolving rhythm.” - Alexa Genoyer, Founder, LucyDream Art

Liana Reverie: Vivid Colours invites visitors to pause and reflect on how often the essence of plant life is overlooked in modern existence and how reconnecting with it can restore balance, interdependence, and collaboration. In a fast-paced world, the exhibition offers a moment to slow down, absorb the vibrancy of colour, and rekindle one’s connection with the natural world.

For Nuanu, every exhibition is an exploration of how art connects humanity with an ever-changing world and this one listens to how nature speaks, and how humans translate its language through creativity. In this spirit, Liana Reverie: Vivid Colours expresses Nuanu’s belief that art is not apart from nature but moves within its living rhythm, echoing its commitment to shaping the future of art and culture in Bali.

Over 1,500 participants from diverse communities, families, and sport writers came together at Nuanu Creative City for this year’s 5K Fun Run, celebrating a renewed spirit of Fun and Fair for Everyone. With no podiums and no competition, the event focused purely on joy, togetherness, and celebration of movement.

Surrounded by public art installations and natural landscapes as backdrop, runners encountered countless memorable moments throughout the route - each step worthy of a snapshot. The event was filled with colorful, creative costumes inspired by movie characters, superheroes, and local culture, turning the course into a lively parade of laughter and energy.

Embodying the Fun and Fair for Everyone spirit, Nuanu also hosted a series of games and door prizes open to all participants without limitations. From kids to adults, everyone had an equal chance to play, win, and celebrate wellness through movements.

Beyond the run, participants enjoyed a variety of activities across Nuanu — from f&b stalls to recovery corners and interactive photo spots, where many stopped to capture memories together. The vibrant community atmosphere came alive with music, laughter, and joy that carried through from start to finish.

As part of its social commitment, Nuanu donated 5% of ticket sales through the Nuanu Social Fund (NSF) to support community empowerment programs around Tabanan. “It’s pure joy to see Nuanu filled with smiles, laughter, and a bit of exhaustion from the run — that means another day well spent in Nuanu,” said Ida Ayu Astari Prada, Brand & Communications Director of Nuanu Creative City. “It’s our vision for Nuanu to be a place where walking and running feel comfortable, while reminding everyone that each step leaves a positive footprint for social empowerment.”

in the world. Nuanu is a one-of-a-kind destination that hosts meaningful, curated, and fun events in Bali. As Tabanan Regency grows and finds its own rhythm, Nuanu stands as its creative city — fueling its community with creativity and vibrancy, and welcoming the most creative minds to connect and collaborate.
