There’s nothing quite like watching an artist at work. A selection of artists will be demonstrating their craft daily using mediums such as soft pastels, charcoal, fineliners and acrylic paint.
– Hands-on Classes
Those who are keen to participate in art classes to pick up a new skill or two can choose from the 32 classes conducted by 20 visual artists specialising in various art forms such as painting, crafts, sketching, doodling, lettering, calligraphy, drawing etc. Due to the limited number of seats available per workshop, participants would have to register via eDMs or the events section on our Facebook page.

– ‘Colour to Life’; AR Experience by Faber-Castell
Yet another star attraction at our art festival is the Faber-Castell ‘Colour to Life’ experience, which combines colouring with an Augmented Reality (AR) based application. ‘Colour to Life’ is packed with a set of colouring book, consisting of five different characters over 15 pages, and 20 Faber-Castell Connector Pens.
