Lite On! @ Downtown East

In collaboration with National Arts Council, Downtown East has teamed up with local homegrown artists to install Instagram-worthy light art installations around the entertainment hub in Pasir Ris.

These colourful glows take inspiration from imagined landscapes, existing spaces, and everyday things.

No need to rush down right away though since these displays will be open to the public till 21 March 2021.

Here’s a list of locations where you can find the light installations.

Bubble Play by Shophouse & Co

The bubble art display has themes that reflect changes in our daily lives brought on by the pandemic such as bubble wraps (from home-delivered packages), social distancing sticky tapes and QR codes that mimic SafeEntry.

The artwork consists of 4 different play zones – Pop, Move, Share, and Think.

Shades of Self by Space Objekt
