Featured Events in Singapore in January, 2025 (July Updated)

The artists living and working in Wessex Estate are opening their studio spaces to the public over two weekends as part of Singapore Art Week 2025. A leisurely stroll around the estate will take you to the studios of nine local and international artists where you will find a rich diversity of contemporary and traditional art practices including ceramic art, painting, printmaking, drawing, video and photography, mixed media, graphic art, jewellery and textile work. The artists will be present at their studios during this event giving visitors the opportunity to talk to them directly about their art practice, inspiration and creative process. Artwork can also be purchased directly from the studios. Artists taking part in this edition of the ArtWalk@Wessex are: Frances Alleblas, Marina Fietta, Naomi Hanakata, Max Kong, Joyce Loo, James Stewart, Junko Tsujii, Alison Wilson, Saya Yamaguchi About ArtWalk@Wessex Set against the beautiful leafy backdrop of Portsdown Road, just off the Green Corridor at Tanglin Halt, are the historical 1940s black and white colonial houses and walk-up apartments which make up Wessex Estate. Drawn to the big open spaces, nature, interesting architecture and a more alterative community, artists have been drawn to this area for decades. The first open studio event took place in 2006, and since then there have been 22 art walks. The artist community in Wessex has seen many changes over the years, and artists have come and gone, however there is still an active group of artists in living and working in Wessex Estate. Currently ten studios actively participate in the ArtWalk@Wessex and open their studio spaces bi-annually to the public. More information is available at https://www.facebook.com/ArtWalkWessex Instagram @artwalk_wessex (Note: Exact details of which studios are open on the two weekends can be found on the ArtWalkWessex Facebook page).

The theme for the Creation Care Conference 2025 is On Earth as it is in Heaven . At its heart, the Conference seeks to convey that creation care is part of Christ’s (and therefore, our) broader mission of restoring relationships: between humanity and God, among people, and between us and the rest of creation. By looking to Jesus, the One who brings renewal, CCC25 is a prayer and call for more of heaven to transform more of earth, and more of us. This year, our hope is for the Conference to represent a statement of unity by the Church in Singapore that creation care is an integral aspect of Christian discipleship. The following organisations are supporting the conference: Biblical Graduate School of Theology, Singapore Centre for Global Missions, World Vision Singapore, Fellowship of Evangelical Students, Micah Singapore, Interserve Singapore, Graduates' Christian Fellowship and Friends of A Rocha Singapore. Salt & Light and thir.st are our media partners. ------------- About Our Father's WorldOur Father’s World (formerly known as Creation Care SG) is a Christian non-profit organisation striving to inspire and equip the Church to love and care for God’s creation.

Discover a new perspective on exhibitions with Figuring a Scene, where we break free from traditional art history norms. Here, we believe exhibitions hold intrinsic significance beyond historical or societal contexts. Emotions, imagination, and sensory experiences take center stage in our understanding of art, defining how we make sense of the world around us. Explore the process of creating art and the meaning of materials within specific settings, akin to the unfolding of a narrative or drama. As you navigate the exhibition, connect with your own experiences with the artworks on display. Join us on a journey that encourages a deeper appreciation for the intricate process of art creation. Engage in thought-provoking questions about the production and reception of art, the collective staging of the exhibition scene, and the interconnectedness between artistic forms and the broader realms of history and everyday life. Figuring a Scene presents different instances where elements from nature become signs that help us perceive and grasp social forms. These instances come via six episodes - shadow, fruit, fire, air, wax, and city.
