Patina Bar might be a newly opened bar along East Coast Road, but they’ll soon be holding an artists’ market every other Sunday – featuring the work of artists around Asia. Their first market will take place on June 26, between 11am to 11pm, with a lineup of activities and workshops. It’s a prime example of how arts and culture is slowly coming back to life in Singapore, after two long years of stringent Covid restrictions.
Look forward to tasting Mazaraat’s Indonesian artisanal cheeses or browsing through a selection of Maverick Made handcrafted leather goods. There’ll also be flower arrangement workshops by Cooper Garden and flash tattoos done by local tattoo artist Wak Wandee, prices for designs ranging between $50 to $150.
What we’re most excited about is the dream interpretation session that’s held by local “dreammaker” Livy Von Goh, where she’ll guide you through any vivid dreams you recall or even suggest sleep elixirs for a good night’s rest. Seems a tad bit boho but hey, a profound dream interpretation is exactly what we all need.
One of the greatest dilemmas of Singapore’s art scene faces is that they’re either events either filled with photogenic art installations like i Light Singapore or they’re lumped as being overly affected. But there’s nothing pretentious about this bi-monthly artists' market. In fact, it’s a casual shindig – everyone’s welcome. Make sure to try some of Patina Bar’s signature cocktails or bar bites while there.
