The month-long celebrations will also have one of its infrequent open studios events on January 26th, the festival's opening day. Here, collectors and members of the public may visit the artists in their respective studios in TKS to interact with them directly, and even to see and buy their other works not on exhibition in TKS' gallery because of limited space.

Visitors to TKS will catch a glimpse of the latest trends in Singapore's and Asia's arts scene. Besides the traditional forms of art, there will also be art installations, contemporary Chinese ink and collectible local art.

Telok Kurau Studios Art Gallery is at 91 Lorong J, at the junction of Telok Kurau Road and Lorong J and will be opened from 11.00am to 6.30pm.
