ArtsXplore 2.0 exhibition pop-up by five youth teams ongoing till Mar 31

After undergoing a four-month arts incubation and mentorship programme, five teams of youths are displaying their project prototypes at three venues along the Somerset Belt.

Titled ArtsXplore 2.0 Pop-Up Exhibition, the multi-site showcase in Orchard Central began on Mar 17 and will run till Mar 31.

ArtsXplore 2.0 is a joint initiative by the National Arts Council and the Somerset Belt that gives youths in Singapore aged 15 to 35 years old opportunities to learn from industry professionals and established artists.
