About the Exhibition

The Think! Contemporary Exhibition 2018 is the culmination of a year-long partnership between the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) and five primary schools: CHIJ Our Lady Queen of Peace, Geylang Methodist School (Primary), Haig Girls’ School, Mayflower Primary School and St. Anthony’s Primary School.

Featuring artworks by pupils who were a part of the Think! Contemporary Programme, the exhibition includes themes related to family, community, identity and the environment – responses to the issues and ideas investigated by the artworks featured at SAM.

The Think! Contemporary Programme is a multi-visit, museum-based school programme that advocates learning through art at SAM. Integrating school curricula with museum visits, the programme employs artworks from various SAM exhibitions, including Once Upon This Island, Imaginarium: Into the Space of Time and Cinerama: Art and the Moving Image in Southeast Asia, as a primary resource for classroom teaching and learning of Art, Character and Citizenship Education, English, Science and Social Studies.

The Think! Contemporary Exhibition 2018 runs from 5 October 2018 to 28 October 2018 at the National Library Board Levels 7 & 8.
