hile I love spending time exploring Singapore’s diverse restaurant and bar scene, I often crave more creative activities that will feed my soul in an environment where I won’t be tempted by one more Aperol Spritz! If you feel the same, prepare for innovative ideas throughout these pages that will get your imagination going. For a round-up of unique and expressive workshops across the island head to p40. Whether you fancy perfecting your abilities as a graffiti artist, are keen to learn how to make a chandelier, want to master a few salsa moves, or dream of an alternative life as a tattooist, you’ll find suggestions for all ages. Of course, if it’s inspiring talent you’re after, look no further than our esteemed ANZA community! On p48 we meet some of our most skilled members, including a musician, photographer and sculpture artist. Indeed, if sculpture’s your thing, check out Home is Where The Art Is on p22 which reveals where to find Dali, Lichtenstein, Moore and more under your very nose here on the red dot. This magazine’s theme could not be better timed as we announce some new group activities to our already packed portfolio. Release your inner Mariah Carey with ANZA Singing or become competent in the likes of beading and batik at Art & Craft. For something more sporty, Pickleball and Stand Up Paddleboard will provide challenges and fun. Check ANZA’s website for details.
Lastly, one event that’s sure to ignite creativity is the ANZA GLITTERBALL! Celebrating 75 years of ANZA in Singapore, 25 August promises to be one heck of a party offering endless possibilities for experimental dressing. We’re thinking sequins, sparkle, and a whole lotta Aussie and Kiwi spirit!
