Video: "MCCY pilot to assist more seniors in utilising S$100 credits under Culture Pass" Seniors who do not know how to use their Culture Pass, or may not be mobile enough to get to events, are getting help. Under a pilot by the Culture, Community and Youth Ministry, organisations are helping to redeem their online credits and plan programmes for them. The ministry aims to reach more than 150 seniors in two months.

Article: "Seniors to get help in using S$100 SG Culture Pass credits under MCCY pilot" Some seniors at Vanguard Active Ageing Centre (Care) in Woodlands recently took part in a painting class at Artify. The session featured the use of palette knives, which are lighter than standard paintbrushes and easier to handle, making the activity more accessible for these young-at-heart artists.

CNA Commentary: “Thoughtful tech applications can help charities reach those in need even with COVID-19 restrictions” Artify Studio partnered with Touch Senior Activity Centre during the pandemic to teach seniors how to paint through WhatsApp video-conferencing. Employees at the senior activity centre instructed seniors to turn on the camera in their smartphones and connect to virtual art sessions conducted by volunteer artists from Artify Studio using WhatsApp.

Would pay-as-you-want businesses pay off? Not everything has a price tagged to it in Singapore. We found three places run on a pay-what-you-want system

After the riotous time that David had at March’s Art Camp with Artify Studio, I knew that I had to sign him up for another one this June hols – so I did!

Unlike most art centres in Singapore, Jae subscribes to the idea that children don’t need you to set up too many structures and steps for them – they just need to be inspired and then to have the freedom and resources to create.

ARTIFY is an art studio located at Textile Center, just off North Bridge Road. A friend recommended their art jamming evening sessions (7pm - 10pm). The studio is located on the 8-9 floor, accessible by lifts 7 or 8. It feels very platform 9 3/4. It was structured very much like a dormitory, but with little stairs to each door. Perhaps because Textile Center is a very old building, its interiors were very unique to us.

Bored of the usual movie and dining date? It's probably about time that you surprised your date with something completely different. It is important for couples to keep their relationships alive and interesting by going through different experiences.

Art does not need only talent and creativity. It is important to make many mistakes, take time to grow, and create something that suits you. Our studio started with Singaporean staff who are passionate about creating an environment where students can experience picture learning.

Tuck into a hearty buffet spread, and once you’ve had your fill, you pick how much to pay. Sounds too good to be true? Believe it or not, paying as you wish (PAYW) is no novel concept in Singapore. We check out five PAYW places – from eateries and tea salons to yoga and art studios – that are still going strong in their respective industries.

At Artify Studio yesterday: Adam had transformed an unwanted piece of canvas by another person into this cubism (theory of applying distorted lines and geometry) Spidey. Took him several lessons to get the final painting.

Unleash your child’s creativity at Artify Studio, which organises parent-child art jamming sessions. All art materials – canvases, paintbrushes, palettes, aprons and, yes, unlimited paints – will be provided, so you’ll only need to bring along your imagination! Soft guidance will be offered to kids who need it, with each session having teacher-student ratio of one to four.

The recommended amount is $35 per person for each session. And this includes 16″ x 20″ or 16″ x 16 ” Canvas, acrylic paints, brushes, palette and apron. Not to mention that they also provide a free flow of drinks and snacks which I thought it was a pleasant gesture. Anyhow, I decided to join in one of their art jamming session on a Public Holiday. Mind you, the places get taken up really fast!
