    2011 have been a busy year and Artitute owe it’s success to it’s dedicated writers and contributors who have made 2011 a successful year. We managed to have a little gathering over a nice cozy Christmas lunch at the Olive Tree, Intercontinental Hotel with our Singapore contributors, Yen Phang, Karen Mitchell, Juliana Chin and Imelda Tan. Wish we could fly our contributors, Juliana Loh from Hong Kong and Joleen Loh from Australia.

    Thank you everyone for your help and dedication. Here’s wishing you a Merry Christmas and an Arty New Year in 2012!

    Elephant Parade Photo Adventure @ Marina Bay

    Sunday morning is the best time for many to sleep in and catch their Zs. However, about 40 Singapore bloggers and photographers took to the streets of Raffles Place at 9am on Sunday (18th December 2011) morning, to participate in the Elephant Parade Photo Adventure @ Marina Bay, organised by the Urban Redevelopment Authority Singapore (URA).

    Arty Gifts from BooksActually

    It was our first visit to BooksActually after their move to their new hood in Tiong Bahru. We were utterly amazed by the varieties of books and gifts. Truly a shopper’s paradise even for the non-bookworms.

    We couldn’t help resisting and bought 2 picture books. The Curious Sofa – A Pornographic work by Ogdred Weary, and The Epiplectic Bicycle by Edward Gorey. We also found several books and merchandise, highly recommend to get if you haven’t found the perfect Christmas gifts for your friends who have everything.
