Art Garden: Children's Season at the Singapore Art Museum
14 May 2010 to 18 July 2010
SAM at 8Q

The Singapore Art Museum will host its inaugural Children's Season in May. Young people will be introduced to contemporary art in an interactive, supportive and fun family environment. The entire SAM at 8 Queen Street building will be transformed into magical art gardens showcasing artist projects and artworks inspired by nature. Selected for their imagination and interactivity, these displays will be accompanied with captions to engage young visitors with the art works. Activity sheets inspired by the art works will enhance the children's learning experience. Young visitors can also participate in a series of artists' workshops and enjoy short film screenings.

Usual exhibition admission charges apply. Free admission for children aged 6 and below. Each child must be accompanied by an adult holding a valid exhibition admission ticket.
