Artbeatz Brings You A Whole New Way to Experience Art
When the world around us crumbles and no longer makes sense, we seem to turn inward and seek new meaning in the events and objects that surround us. With this COVID-19 pandemic hindering the way we used to go about our lives, we tend to appreciate and discover a deeper significance in works of art during these periods of introspection. To enhance experiencing art firsthand, Artbeatz introduces a way to have you experience the same beauty of art but with added convenience of viewing them from the comfort of your own home.
A Tribute to Life Through Arts!
This special virtual art gallery is a tribute to friendship forged through art appreciation.
Liang Wen Fu is a famous local composer, who has garnered thousands of followers through the years. He has enriched our lives since the 70s/80s where he started the Singapore Chinese folk songs movement: “Xin Yao”. As a result, we, Singaporean Chinese, could forge our identity, celebrating our growing up years with songs that we can call our own. He is also a prolific poet and author, who shares almost daily inspirations sparked from everyday routine, treasuring even the miniscule occurrences in life. In response to his beautiful rendering with words, Kent Lau, who is not only the founder and executive creative director of Madaboutdesign but also an avid illustrator/caricaturist, has created interesting (and at times witty) illustrations alongside Wen Fu’s stories.
Hence, embark on a journey with us through the virtual art gallery to enjoy the creations by the adorable duo!

HDB Community Art Project
Our HDB, Our Home, Together We Paint Our Future”, the HDB Community Art Project captured the hopes and aspirations of HDB residents on the future of HDB living.
More than 3,000 participants across Singapore painted their vision on totems, canvases and art cards via digital and physical platforms, which were then curated into this digital art installation by artist Sun Yu-li.
Participants expressed that they would like to live in harmony with neighbours in an inclusive environment that embraces people of different abilities and backgrounds;
to live in neighbourhoods with more recreational and play spaces that can facilitate active and healthy lifestyles; and to live close to nature, with sustainable practices in our environment.
