Hello My Chinatown! Memories of Yesteryears! Q&A with Artist Yip Yew Chong

Many of Yip Yew Chong's intricate art works along Smith Street tell intimate stories of the bygone days at Chinatown in the 1970s and 1980s. These artworks are representations of Yip's and many Singaporeans' childhood memories and evoke a sense of warmth and nostalgia.

Join Yip Yew Chong as he candidly chats about his memories of yesteryear, and how they often find their way onto the walls he paints. Mr Yip will also share some tips on how you can get started in this fun and creative art form!
