ART with a heART! VivoCity - 26 Jan 08


Many of us would frown at the thought of setting our alarms to 5.3oam on a Saturday morning, but for a social cause, we did. It was a heart-warming sight to see our team of fourteen gather at VivoCity at 7.00am to offer our services to the opening ceremony of PaTH's (Pop and Talent Hub) first art exhibition.


That day, our parent group, SIP, put up Singapore’s biggest art exhibition in a commercial space- ART with a heart- as the first step towards creating a commercial platform for social groups, artists, and the less-advantaged to showcase their talents and earn a humble revenue at the same time. These talents are part of SIP’s PaTH.



Our team was truly honored to be given the opportunity to welcome and seat the VVIPs, including President S R Nathan, Minister of State Mrs. Yu-Foo Yee Shoon, Ms Penny Low and Ms Elim Chew.


After a briefing by the organizers, we headed to ToastBox for a hearty breakfast. Meanwhile, we made a new friend- Lawson! A great photographer...he took many nice pics for us!

The opening ceremony rounded up at 1pm that day. After the VVIPs left, we went around and talked to the exhibitors; we wanted to learn more about them and their stories. Soon, we want to bring PaTH to SIM- our mini PaTH! =)

After lunch (Macs provided by the organizers), we were recharged and it was picture taking time! We were really happy and excited to take pictures with Ms Penny Low and Ms Elim Chew, founder and director of SIP respectively!

PaTH exhibition will continue to run on every first and last weekend of the month, from 11am to 10pm, at VivoCity Level 3 (concourse opposite Food Republic). Do head on down one day folks! See ya there!
