The Preservation of Monuments Board will be showing Of Monuments & Memories at Vivocity this week! See some of our treasured historic buildings captured on photographs by 7 photographic talents. Bring your children to our new interactive zone, where they will be given the chance create their own postcards using stamps and colouring pencils for their loved ones and friends.
The questions on this board aptly echoed my thoughts as I went down to the Sumatra: Isle of Gold exhibition at the Asian Civilisations Museum.

Have you been to the Singapore Youth Festival (SYF) Art and Crafts exhibition at the Singapore Art Museum?
This fantastic exhibition is the first time the Ministry of Education is co-curating this show with the National Art Gallery, Singapore. It is an excellent show of the talents and achievements of our youths today. Centered around the theme of self-discovery this year, the exhibition explores how young people today relate to themselves, the significant people in their lives, as well as to society at large. You will be absolutely amazed at their art-making capabilities as well as the maturity of these student responses.
If you haven’t been there, here is a quick look at what’s in store for you!
As part of the ongoing community arts project CIVIC LIFE looking at place, identity and a sense of belonging, the organisers have announced a microshort film competition, WHERE THE HEART IS. The competition calls for 90 second films which take as their subject a particular place that has a strong emotional connection for you. See the brief below. The maker of the best film will get a chance to attend Encounters, the UK’s leading short film festival, which takes place In Bristol, England, over 5 days in November.
