Installation Art by the Bay KK 2025

Echoes of Sustainability

The park turns into a gallery without walls. Walk the stone paths at Taman Chong Thien Vun and see what artists built from the stuff we usually ignore. Plastics. Metals. Bottles. Tin cans. Wood. Natural elements. Just work in the open air, tested by weather and passersby.

Materials with a past turn into something worth stopping for. Light through bottles. Metal that remembers its first job. Wood given a second story. Watch ideas made physical. Let the artists' voices come through the materials. Leave with a different eye for what is possible.

This year's theme is #EchoesOfSustainability #EveryEffortMatters.

While You're There

Kampung Air is a short walk away. In October 2023, 30 graffiti and street art artists from around the world turned its lanes into an open air gallery. On Lorong Sentosa the walls are covered with large murals, bold lettering, and characters. Bright color, local motifs, and many photo friendly spots.

Old Soul Vintage (Art Hole) is a vintage shop on Lorong Sentosa where you can hunt for finds. Retro clothing, records, posters, toys, homeware, and odd curios, the kind of place where a bit of digging can turn up a treasure.
Open 11 am to 4 pm daily, closed on Mondays.
