CURATE 2022 Inter-school Art Exhibition Opens at SJI
1 July 2022
CURATE 2022 opened at the SJI Bunker Gallery with works by 16 mentored student artists. Read how the programme ran.
CURATE is an Art programme initiated by three participating schools - Fairfield Methodist School Secondary, Nan Hua High School and St. Joseph’s Institution. With the support from National Arts Council (NAC), CURATE hopes to connect passionate Art students from various schools to experience the joy of art-making as they broaden their perspectives of art forms through personalised mentorship by artist practitioners.
In CURATE 2022 (opens in new tab), the programme is extended to four participating schools, including Boon Lay Secondary School. 40 art students underwent a series of sessions, from artist workshops to a two-day Bootcamp Challenge and judging presentation. 16 students were then selected by our Artist Mentors - Yanyun Chen, Jerold Chong and Tiffany Loy - to receive personalised tutorial sessions. Finally, the selected student artists were guided by our curatorial mentor, Seet Yun Teng, to put up an exhibition of their own.
On 12 July evening, the CURATE 2022 Inter-school Art Exhibition was launched at the SJI Bunker Gallery. Several distinguished guests including the Deputy Directors from Singapore Teachers Academy for the Arts (STAR) and Arts Education Branch (AEB), Principals, Vice-principals and art colleagues from the 4 participating schools, and the parents of the 16 art students were at the opening preview of the exhibition.
