State of the Arts! April 2012! Week 4!
April 23 to 29
The National Heritage Board held its annual Patron Of Heritage awards, honoured 40 organisations and eight individuals for their philanthropic efforts totaling some S$9.26 million. A new arts residency programme opened its doors courtesy of Visual Arts @ Temenggong, which is spearheaded by local artist Chen KeZhan (whose ongoing exhibition also serves as a fundraiser). ArtScience Museum’s blockbuster Titanic exhibition wrapped up yesterday as its most successful show to date, drawing more than 250,000 visitors. Elsewhere, Cultural Medallion recipient Lim Tze Peng opened his latest solo show focusing on Bali; new group Sight Lines Production debuts with its musical revue Trainspotting; and theatre’s ongoing love affair with Shakespeare continues after Romeo And Juliet with Singapore Repertory Theatre’s Shakespeare In The Park offering Twelfth Night.
