April Sketchwalk at HarbourFront Centre

 

Hi Sketchers!

For April 2026's month end sketchwalk, we have a special collab sketchwalk with Mapletree to say goodbye to HarbourFront Centre, which is closing this year! This will be followed up with an exhibition of selected sketches, similar to our sketchwalk at St James Power Station and exhibition at ARC last year.

If you are keen to be considered for the exhibition, please print and fill in the release form from here: (https://drive.google.com/.../1uSO.../view...).

There will be a photographer on site to take photos of the event and photograph your sketches for the exhibition after the show-and-tell.

Formerly known as World Trade Centre when it opened in 1977, HarbourFront Centre was renovated and given its present name in 2003. It was once the gateway to Sentosa and the Expo hub before Suntec City and Singapore Expo were built. Ferries ferried visitors to and from Sentosa island and large-scale events like the book fairs and Festival of Books were held at the exhibition halls (https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1PtRhXgYGp/).

HarbourFront Centre is closing in the second half of this year, and Mapletree has invited us to sketch and bid farewell to this historic landmark. An exhibition is planned to feature selected sketches. So bring your sketch tools and your stories and join us!

There will be a welcome briefing with our hosts at 9:30 am before we begin.

If you wish to sketch indoors, you may patronise one of the cafes or eateries. Please do not set up your stool inside the mall as it will obstruct shoppers.

Please note that the show and tell location is at the front entrance of HarbourFront Centre.

Introduction to Sketching Workshop by Favian Ee

 Hi folks. If want to learn to sketch but don’t know where to start, Favian will be conducting a workshop with Mapletree on 8 Feb in conjunction with an exhibition of our sketches in St James Power Station . It’s for beginners, but if you’ve been sketching a while and haven’t learned to do sight measuring, this might be a good opportunity to pick up a useful sketching skill!
