In a first-of-its-kind collaboration, artists and designers from LASALLE will work together with real estate developers to produce unique pieces of urban living art for condominium The M. Engaged in discussion since the developmental phase, the paintings, sculptures and interactive displays conceived by alumni of LASALLE will be well integrated into the complex once it completes in early 2024. The 522-unit property at Middle Road is near the arts and cultural precinct and is marketed to millennial families and entrepreneurs who are based at home.

From August 2020, new Diploma students at LASALLE College of the Arts will reap the benefits of a refreshed Diploma framework, designed to prepare a new generation of arts and design learners to respond to evolving needs and opportunities in a transforming economy.
 

Excitement abounds as interdisciplinary arts festival ARTWALK Little India kicks off across two weekends in January. There are many brand new offerings visitors can expect in this edition, such as a storytelling session that combines music and folk painting and an ambitious mural painting that stretches 70 metres long.

Visitors heading to Little India tomorrow can look forward to art performances, workshops and murals as part of an annual public art project. Now in its sixth edition, Artwalk Little India will be held on Friday and Saturday, as well as on Jan 17 and 18, as part of Singapore Art Week. It is meant to bring to life the history and traditions of Little India, as well as the personal stories of its community.

Patrick Flores, the artistic director for Singapore Biennale 2019, insists that this year’s biennale doesn’t have a theme. The title “Every Step in the Right Direction” is an invitation, an inspiration, he says; not a theme.

“I believe in certain anxieties and they don't have to become themes. Themes tend to capture, instead of release,” he explains.
