The gallery is up! Artsolute with the help of volunteers, residents, and artist Belinda Low started the process of refurbishing Social Creatives’ Van Gogh Art Gallery at 55 Pipit Road late last year, and finally added the last touches earlier this Sunday! Do check it out!

Like HDB flats in the background of "Starry Night".

Great community session today! Residents make their final contributions (for now) to the community art mural. What I love about this work is how unique and unbridled their ideas are, which inspires me as an artist. Everyone kept thinking a week before, “there’s nothing more to add”, yet each residents’ session proved it possible.

This was the last community art session before our final touches. Looking forward to share the full outcomes.

Terence’s work, “Boats”, from his days on Ubin is being auctioned to raise funds for Ground-Up Initiative!

🎨 "𝑩𝒐𝒂𝒕𝒔" 𝒃𝒚 𝑻𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑻𝒂𝒏 𝑺𝒊 𝑷𝒆𝒏𝒈: 𝑨 𝑱𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒊𝒏 𝑨𝒓𝒕 🚤

"Boats," an exquisite piece of art by Terence Tan Si Peng, takes us on a visual journey from the Pulau Ubin Jetty back to the island. 🏝 This stunning oil on canvas creation captures the essence of connectivity and diversity through the vessels that traverse these waters, symbolizing the connection between people and places.

Ground-Up Initiative (GUI) is immensely grateful to Terence, with whom we've had the pleasure of working together through Artsolute, his art platform. 🤝 We eagerly anticipate continuing this partnership at our new home.

Join us at the auction and support our fundraising dinner at https://rayofhope.sg/fundraising-dinner/. 🍽🎨

"The arts and health field in Singapore has grown tremendously but requires continued exposure and advocacy. Our respondents felt that more frequent and more regular forums that support discourse on arts and health would be widely desirable and contribute to growing literacy about arts and health both within and across sectors. Such forums would also facilitate practitioners’ ability and motivation to learn from one another."
