Those who are fond of Singapore\u2019s iconic malls will be glad to know that Bras Basah Complex is set to host the first open house by Bras Basah-Bugis, the precinct known as the city\u2019s arts and heritage district.<\/p>\n
Titled New Chapter, the open house will be held on Mar 7 and 8 at Bras Basah Complex. Organised by HeritageSG in collaboration with the Bras Basah Complex Merchants’ Association, the two-day event marks Bras Basah-Bugis\u2019 journey towards becoming a creative district and will spotlight the mall as one of the precinct\u2019s key creative hubs.<\/p>\n
One of the programmes is a guided walking tour led by tenants of the building. Participants will learn about the building’s architecture, take part in hands-on activities and watch live demonstrations hosted by the tenants themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The walking tour is the only ticketed programme at the open house, with two sessions daily from 2pm to 3.30pm and 4pm to 5.30pm. Tickets are priced at S$15 per person, and registration must be completed via the event website<\/a>.<\/p>\n The event will also feature a stamp rally. Participants can collect stamps from five participating stores: Wheniwasfour, Fook Hing Trading Co, Xinyue Music Studio, Maha Yu Yi Bookstore and Union Book Co. Completed stamp cards can be redeemed for a set of discount vouchers, valid at the five stores while stocks last.<\/p>\n Live performances are also scheduled across both days. Local open-jam collective Ann Siang Sounds will perform on Mar 8 from 4pm to 6.30pm. Bras Basah Complex tenants, including Nrityalaya Aesthetics Society, Drum Prodigy and Intune Music, will stage performances on Mar 7 and 8 from 1pm to 2pm.<\/p>\n The open house also features a creative craft market that will spotlight local artists, craftmakers and illustrators such as Reddillustrates, Whimsipom, Then0ize, TwoPeas, Crumbstown, Caricagen and Loonskye.<\/p>\n Visitors can also participate in a community chill zone, where they are invited to contribute to a collaborative art installation using Post-it notes or by drawing and expressing in words their memories of the precinct.
