Singapore Arts Street 2008 @ North East

Have we been complaining that the Arts scene in Singapore is lacking? Now, there is one event you could swing by, and Arts need not be just kept in a specific setting or space.

We are now helping to spread the words out that there is a Singapore Arts Street 2008 @ North East event to be held in June.

Additional information as below:

Our first craft swap at Hello Eco! was a huge success! Many turned up with their stash to fill the tables. Besides swapping, the participants managed to interact and have fun times. Look at all the happy faces.

Thank you all for participating. We hope to have another event like this real soon!
