GalaxyArt Newsletter December 2021
Arts & culture have unlimited potential to deliver meaningful experiences.
- Review - Caricature Drawing Workshop The seemingly “simple” connection of lines drawn creates larger-than-life steel rod sculptures, with cartoon characters enlivening the final works that are on display at our current exhibition, “Juxtapose”. To let our visitors enjoy our current exhibition through a different experience, GalaxyArt held two Caricature Drawing Workshops over a weekend on the 18th and 19th of December.
Our docents took participants on a guided tour of "Juxtapose", directing them to carefully observe the 11 exhibits, analyse the characteristics and drawing styles of the characters in the exhibits, and learn to draw caricatures of someone they know! In addition to experiencing the joy of sketching in a gallery surrounded by sculptures created by artist Tang Mun Kian, the workshop also provided a special opportunity for participants to learn to sharpen their observations of features of people around them.
- Review - Festive Activity- Christmas Accessories DIY Workshop From the 20th to 26th of December, GalaxyArt had successfully hosted seven sessions of “Christmas Accessories DIY Workshop” for our visitors. Happy participants showed their passion and interest to create unique and creative Christmas accessories, using colorful pipe cleaners, for their loved ones at the workshop.
- NEW EXHIBITION - "THE ART OF BAMBOO: from Qilin to Contemporary Art" coming soon GalaxyArt’s second exhibition, “THE ART OF BAMBOO: from Qilin to Contemporary Art”, showcases how traditional handcrafted bamboo sculptures of Chinese mystical animals evolve into contemporary art. GalaxyArt will be temporarily closed from the 3rd to 17th January, 2022 to prepare for installation of the new exhibition.
A brand new experience will be unveiled on the 18th January, 2022 and we look forward to your visiting us soon at GalaxyArt!
