Synopsis:

2017 see's the seventh wonderful annual initiative that is the IN Art Exhibition, a collection of outstanding art from schools across Singapore. IN stands for International, Involved, Inspire and celebrates the collaboration of teachers and young artists from many international schools in Singapore.

We invite you to engage and celebrate with us the achievements of both GEMS and students from other international schools and appreciate their strong passion for art. Either by attending the opening night on 15th November for which you need to RSVP where students will be present or visiting the exhibition any day Monday-Friday 10-4pm until 15th January.

Each of the schools exhibiting has selected high-quality student works that best reflects the skill and dedication required to succeed in their respective art courses. We hope that the display of their work in a professional setting will give added fuel to the students' passion for art. All the courses on offer to students across each school allows them to work independently and with guidance, explore and expand personal interests and develop and master existing and new techniques. The outcomes produced, reflect the student's individuality, determination and commitment to visual arts. Just like their creators, the artworks are varied, insightful, engaging and a joy to experience.

In 2011 a small team of art teachers was formed to share ideas, support each other and inspire students. The first two exhibitions were very successful – proud parents, smiling students, and considerable media attention. As the team of schools grew it became clear we needed a bigger venue. The Australian High Commission came to our rescue, offering us the use of their gallery. For each school individually it has provided a great opportunity for students to network, get inspiration and learn from one another. As a collective we are thrilled to be able to exhibit so many pieces and for so long in this exceptional space. We are very grateful to our hosts. Our hope is that the project will continue to grow, develop and inspire – stirring-up creativity island-wide.
