A series of pop-ups to imagine and create the arts
16 Sep - 16 Nov 2024
Various pop-up locations in Singapore
COMMUNITY FUNDRAISING | ARTS EXPERIENCES | MULTIDISCIPLINARY ACTIVATIONS | NEW WORKS-IN-PROGRESS
Gathering Ground is a fresh series of community pop-ups that invite you to immerse yourself in the arts with us.
As The Substation's latest initiative, it embodies our long-standing commitment to nurturing independent voices and fostering unexpected collaborations.
From 16 Sep to 16 Nov 2024 we're transforming familiar spaces - both in-person and online - into sites of creative exploration. Starting with an online community fundraiser in September, followed by events from October through November that showcase the artistic development that has been flourishing at The Substation throughout the year.
Gathering Ground is more than just an event series—it's a stepping stone for your creativity, a platform for fresh perspectives, and a meeting point for our community. Whether you're an emerging artist, a seasoned creator, or simply someone who delights in new experiences, there's a place for you here.
Join us as we gather to ground ourselves in shared artistic experiences, embracing the boundless possibilities that arise when diverse voices come together.
