Urban Sketchers Singapore

The Urban Sketchers Singapore: Volume 01 book presents over 360 beautiful sketches that capture moments, places and life in Singapore by the Urban Sketchers group. From spice streets of Little India, to the landmark Sultan Mosque and the last kampung of Lorong Buangkok, explore and fall in love with these places all over again.

Published with a partial grant from the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) of Singapore through its Architecture and Urban Design Excellence (A•UDE) Promotion Programme, this 250-page hardcover documents the sketching escapades of a motley crew of artists and hobbyists, and reflects on urban context and city planning through their eyes.

This inaugural compendium of work hopes to encourage emerging artists to get involved in the local art community and grow with their peers.

Between 21 October and 24 December 2011, a showcase of sketches will be installed within the lobby atrium of The URA Centre, taking the drawings and paintings beyond the pages of the book and allowing everyone to get up close and personal with the work.

The exhibition is open Mondays to Saturdays, from 9:30 am to 5:30 pm.
