The Substation is pleased to announce its first online fundraising event of the year - Objects of Affections, happening from 1-20 March 2022.
At 12pm daily, The Substation will be unveiling one work each day. Various original artworks including sculptures, ceramics, paintings, tapestry and photography will be featured online on The Substation’s Instagram and Facebook page. Each artwork is made available with a donation of SGD500/-. All proceeds will go to support The Substation’s artist development and arts education programmes and workshops for 2022.
“Objects of Affections would not have been made possible if it wasn’t for the generosity of the artists who had kindly donated their unique artworks and memorabilia. This fundraising event reflects the ongoing relationship between art makers and The Substation, a community that is ever-willing, ever-giving and generous. This event is also an opportunity for art lovers and collectors to acquire original works by our local artists at an affordable price. Hence, it is great timing to continue or start your very own art collection!” shares Artistic Director, Ezzam Rahman.
“Through Objects of Affections, The Substation brings together the works of some of our most talented as well as emerging Singaporean artists. These works donated by the 20 artists evoke the energy and spirit of The Substation, and reveal a great catalogue for those wanting to build their Singapore art collection while supporting a good cause. We’re grateful for the love and support from the arts community during this challenging pandemic time.“says Yuni Hadi, Chairperson, The Substation.
This fundraiser is made possible with the generosity of 20 Singaporean artists from multiple art disciplines. Visual artists Ahmad Abu Bakar, Tang Ling-Nah, Vincent Leow, Oscar Ng, illustrator/artist Mary Bernadette Lee and filmmaker Sun Koh, alongside emerging artists, Shamsa Smiha Kapoor, Dylan Chan and Sarah Lin, are some of the participating artists.
