APAD’s Art Classes
The Angkatan Pelukis Aneka Daya (APAD) is an association of Singapore Malay artists. APAD’s children’s art class began in 1964 as part of the association outreach effort. It was discontinued in 2006 due to the lack of classroom facilities. Responding to continued request by the community, We are re-starting the class at Apad’s art centre, Telok Ayer Performing Arts Centre (TAPAC). Apad art class will be taught by artist members who are art practitioners/educators. The objective is to develop appreciation for aesthetics and improve technical skills through fun-filled activities.Date: Every Saturday afternoon, starting from 5th June 2010
