Events in Singapore

Home Sweep Home is back for its second edition! On top of their regular volunteering activities, HSH 2018 will also be hosting a carnival dedicated to doing good.

Treat yourself to some retail therapy at our Market4Good, while supporting a social cause close to your heart.

From a DIY potpourri bar to handmade merchandise, learn about how you can encourage local social enterprises in their quest to do good through business.

They have also teamed up with independent charity Playeum to conduct a Children’s Art Workshop that focuses on upcycling materials like plastic bottles and fabric for their own unique creations.

Open to children from 4-12 years old!

Habitat Village

Don’t forget to also pop by their activity-filled Habitat Village! Come “build” our life-size Habitat House or speak to our friendly staff about our volunteering opportunities.

If you’re not afraid of some creepy crawlies, put on a VR headset & experience our local home-cleaning programme we call Project HomeWorks (complete with bedbugs) in virtual reality in an exclusive tie-up with D5 Innovation.

Save the date & join them in spreading the joy of giving back. See you on 14 July!

ALL GREAT THINKERS STARTED OUT AS GREAT TINKERS!

Let your kids’ imaginations run wild at this Children’s Art Workshop, where they’ll get to learn from the experts of creative play at Playeum.

They’ll get to test their creativity & engineer unique creations by upcycling commonly found household items.

The Children’s Art Workshop will be hosted at Home Sweep Home’s Market4Good on Saturday, 14 July. Sign up for an unforgettable Saturday with your little ones!

Suitable for children 4-12 years old.

ABOUT HOME SWEEP HOME 2018

Home Sweep Home (HSH) is a large-scale advocacy and impact programme organised by non-profit organisation Habitat for Humanity Singapore.

The event aims to rally volunteers to dedicate one day to providing decent home environments to the vulnerable elderly and families by cleaning up small rental flats, as well as shared neighbourhoods.

This year will see Habitat Singapore partner social enterprises to host Market4Good, a carnival dedicated to giving all visitors the opportunity to give back to a good cause.

ABOUT PLAYEUM

Playeum runs Singapore’s first Children’s Centre for Creativity where families and children can play, create and be inspired together.

Playeum is also a registered charity which brings play into the lives of children who need it most.

— ABOUT THE EVENT —

The Deepest Blue is accompanied by an exhibition publication of the same name.

The book features essays that approach the works of Virginia Woolf, Frida Kahlo, Helen Frankenthaler, and Zelda Fitzgerald from new angles, and how the exhibition’s response adds to an understanding of how mental health has been explored in art.

We will be handing over the gallery space to our publication authors, Jeremy Fernando, Jollin Tan & Samuel Lee for the entire evening. Join them as they transform it into a conversational and inclusive time of reading and writing the visual arts.

— ABOUT THE EXHIBITION —

We have always sought to make sense of life, and art lends itself to an incredibly rich expression. The Deepest Blue unfurls this tendency through examining water as a metaphorical articulation towards mental health.

Four Singapore-based artists will be responding to the stories of chosen works from the past. This is a safe space to explore the intricate human experience, with boundless opportunities for interpretation, contestation and conversation.
