Limited-edition crochet vessels and handwoven tapestries
About Art Encounters
Launched in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board in 2020, Art Encounters is a presentation series capturing the art-making process within repurposed shipping containers. Functioning as a mobile studio and gallery, the containers have travelled to unique sites all around Singapore, enlivening precincts with showcases of diverse artists and mediums. For its fourth edition from May to June 2021, Art Encounters spotlighted the wonderful world of textile art at Marina Central, with a pop-up free weaving studio and commissioned textile artworks. Read more about the fourth edition and the artists featured here.
In keeping with the exhibition’s focus on sustainability, this fundraiser invites you to take home limited-edition memorabilia from the exhibition! Choose from an array of crochet vessels featured in Kelly Limerick’s upcycled yarn bomb installation Vessels, or one-of-a-kind tapestries collectively woven by visitors on a traditional floor loom under the guidance of artist Natalia Tan.
All items are available for purchase under a pay-as-you-wish model, with proceeds going towards Art Outreach’s community outreach, education and public programmes.

Vessels by Kelly Limerick
Vessels was a commissioned art installation by Kelly Limerick that transformed crochet items like baskets and sling pouches into a cluster of organic forms, to serve as an ornamental jacket for the containers. Each vessel was handmade by Kelly and her team of 87 volunteers, using 100% recycled Eco Solution Q Fibre Yarn generously sponsored by Shaw Contract Asia.

ART ENCOUNTERS
Tapestries by Natalia Tan
These eclectic tapestries were collectively woven by visitors on a traditional floor loom in a pop-up free-weaving studio under the guidance of artist-curator Natalia Tan. Visitors were asked to weave their heartfelt wishes into the tapestry, which stands as a testament to the joy of weaving and the coming together of the community.
From displaying them on your wall to beautifying your living space as a table runner or sofa throw, the tapestries are multifunctional and have different patterns on them!
*Selected pieces will be showcased in an upcoming exhibition and available to ship after January 2022

About Art Outreach
Non-profit organisation in Singapore since 2003, promoting visual literacy, affording access to art, and supporting visual art practitioners
Art tells people who we are, where we come from, and represents what’s important to us. It is a visual language that cuts across cultures and languages. Art offers critical insights to inequity and social injustices, and gives voice to change-makers. Art celebrates the human spirit, promotes imagination, spurs innovation, offers comfort and understanding.
Art Outreach is an education non-profit organisation that uses art to expose students and extend their access to the humanities beyond local curriculum.
Among our programmes, we organise an annual exhibition of works from private collections as a platform for collectors to share their advocacy for art and artists with the public. We also support the professional development of emerging artists and curators through an art prize, and we provide a community art space for independent practitioners to organise exhibitions and art presentations.
