It was a night of fun, celebration and gathering for the artists and art supporters from all over the world at the Affordable Art Fair Singapore’s ArtyLicious Evening, held at the F1 Pit Building on the 22nd November. Amidst all the fun and laughter over the bubbly sponsored by G.H. Mumm, the victims of the typhoon haiyan in the Philippines were not forgotten. Proceeds from the sales of the tickets of the ArtyLicious Evening went towards supporting their official fundraising partner: The Red Pencil Humanitarian Mission.

The Healing Process Of Art
The Red Pencil’s mission is to bring the benefits of art-therapy to reach out to children in overwhelming situations such as natural disasters, conflict zones and long-term hospitalizations, where words are just not enough to convey their pain, and yet whose sufferings need attention, expression, release, relief and ultimately healing. Proceeds from part of the Arty-Licious Evening ticket sales and the total sales of the finished graffiti artwork by Luke Cornish, sponsored by Art Equity and ABSOLUT will go towards supporting The Red Pencil’s mission. www.redpencil.org
