Yeo Chee Kiong, “The Sarcophagus of a Dreamer” (2007), fibreglass, 140×120x100cm

Amidst aftermarket hours wining, whining and dining, have you ever stopped to “Take a Moment” and observe the steel clad businessman, little bronze nonya or giant wooden daybed, lurking around your favourite Fullerton hangout?

In a bid to bring art to the forefront of urban dwellers’ consciousness,  The Fullerton Heritage and Andrewshire Art Services have come together to co-present their inaugural exhibition Art in the City. The objective of this ongoing initiative:

“  … to make art more accessible to the public, right in the heart of the city and in an area that is also rich in culture and heritage.  “
