If you've been around the creative block, you know January isn’t just about the new year – it’s when art takes over this tiny island, all thanks to Singapore Art Week.
Here at FEMALE, we’re kicking off the year in full creative force with our Art Edition in the combined January/February issue. Inside, we’re serving up everything from fresh faces to rising stars in the arts scene, celebrating everything that makes this city a buzzing art hub.
Charmaine Ng, the creative force behind Chamjam – a pandemic-born stationery and merch brand – has garnered a cult following among Gen Z for its dreamy, child-like drawings. She’s added her signature fun touch to the cover of the Art Edition, marking her first-ever magazine collaboration.
On the cover: Singapore model Eng Ke Qing, teaming up with the playful, super-cute illustrations of 26-year-old Charmaine Ng (aka Cham), the genius behind Chamjam – a design and merch brand that’s practically cult-status. But she’s not the only young talent we’re shining a light on. Inside, we’re featuring under-20 art prodigies you’ll want to keep on your radar – and in your collection. What challenges do they face? And what’s the real dream for them as artists?
Speaking of art IRL, don’t miss our feature on Rasa, the sprawling new club in Raffles Place, helmed by one of Singapore’s nightlife impresarios, Kavan Spruyt. Positioned as the ultimate "community space for arts, music, and culture," it’s the new must-visit spot for anyone in the know.
Now, isn’t +65 looking more like an art funhouse than ever?
