From collectors to art advocates

ART collectors are just that. Collectors of artworks for their own enjoyment, displayed in their own homes or private art galleries, which anyone outside their circle of friends would not be privy to. But lately, a group of prominent art collectors such as Linda Neo and Albert Lim have been opening up their collections for public tours. With artists' livelihoods affected by the Covid-19 pandemic, the duo wanted to do more for the artists they love, "to foster greater art appreciation and knowledge about Singapore and South-east Asian artists".

In tomorrow's BTLifestyle, find out more about these new art advocates who have been organising art exhibitions so more art lovers can get a chance to view the works of talents such as Genevieve Chua, Ian Tee, Mella Jaarsma, Pannaphan Yodmanee and more.
