Visitors and residents alike can expect to appreciate public art in Singapore even more thanks to a series of walking tours organized by an art group in the country. These tours cover a variety of routes that take participants by a number of public art around the nation. Three different paths are offered every last Sunday of the month as part of an initiative to limit vehicle usage and tamp down on air pollution.
Taking a walking tour is a perfect way to witness the gems of Singapore’s public art scene. Each of the tours is conducted by an art expert, who can explain and give valuable context and insight on the public artworks. Even people who have walked by a certain sculpture every day on their way to work will be able to learn more information about it thanks to the experts who conduct the walking tours. Participants will learn about sculptures, installations, murals, architecture, and much more.
As many as thirty people can take part in the tours. One participant said she enjoyed learning more about the architecture of a classic police station, as well as checking out waterfront masterpieces. She added that the guides were very enthusiastic, excited about sharing their knowledge about the art in question. The walking tours are a great experience and shouldn’t be missed. Even if you are unable to attend one of the walking tours — they could be high in demand — you might notice more art just by walking around by yourself, in your everyday travels, while keeping your eyes open. You might be surprised at how much you miss if you’re distracted by your cellphone or stressed out about something. There is art everywhere if you just know where to look — and keep yourself open to finding it.
