Special Sketchwalk to Celebrate SG61

Hi Sketchers!
Although this year’s parade will be held at the Stadium, after doing a quick poll we found that sketchers still prefer to sketch around here where the National day mood is. Feel free to walk around to sketch the waterfront promenade, Marina Bay Sands, Helix bridge, Singapore skyline etc this National Day weekend!

Special Sketchwalk at Changi Chapel and Museum

Hi Sketchers,

This Saturday, we have a collaboration with Changi Chapel and Museum (CCM) for our sketchwalk. The museum tells the stories of Prisoners of War and civilians interned there during the Japanese Occupation of World War II.

Our visit to CCM anticipates the Liberation of Singapore in September. Come see how the POWs lived and made life more liveable during their internment, from the chapel they built, the murals they painted, the journals they kept, the sketches they drew, and more. Come learn their stories of resilience and survival.

*** Please bring a form of ID for entry.

** Only dry media is allowed inside the museum including the chapel area. Wet media and paints are only allowed outside at the lawn. Markers and pens are counted as dry media, but please be careful not to stain the surroundings.

As this is a collaboration with CCM, there will be a briefing by our host and a short optional walkthrough. There will also be a roving photographer. If you would not like your photograph to be taken, please let the photographer know.

Stools are allowed in the galleries, but please spread out and avoid blocking other visitors or the walkways.

Please refrain from eating and drinking inside the museum.

See you there!

June Sketchwalk at Simpang Bedok

Hi Sketchers!

For June 2026's month-end sketchwalk, we'll be heading to Simpang Bedok. Once a traditional Malay village, the area has grown into a well-known food spot in eastern Singapore, especially for its late-night dining scene. Located near Tanah Merah MRT station, Simpang Bedok is home to a mix of eateries, from longstanding prata shops to newer concepts at Bedok Marketplace, making it an interesting neighbourhood to explore and sketch.

Please note that the show and tell location is tentatively a space outside at the side of Giant Supermarket (TBC on the day itself)

May Sketchwalk at Yishun 10

Hi Sketchers!

For May 2026's month end sketchwalk, we'll be going to Yishun 10 (Now renamed as Golden Village Yishun) Opened in 1992, Yishun 10 — better known to many as Golden Village Yishun — was Singapore’s very first multiplex cinema and became a familiar landmark for generations growing up in the north. Designed by Australian architect Geoff Malone, the building stood out for its bold postmodern architecture, futuristic sci-fi motifs and flashy neon-lit exterior that made it look almost like “a rocket ship that landed in Yishun from outer space". After more than 30 years, the iconic complex is now expected to be redeveloped.

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 tentatively a space outside the mall (TBC on the day itself)

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.
