About the programme
At its heart, Sketch Chapter seeks to build a community of sketchers via a shared practice shaped by many perspectives. Rooted in the belief that art is collaborative and interdisciplinary, Gallery Sketch Chapter brings people together through drawing, dialogue, and discovery.
While Sketch Chapter lives in these everyday moments, selected programme dates offer more, from guided sessions to curated experiences and limited-edition keepsakes.
Come by anytime, or join us during guided sessions and be part of something special.

Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise
Fear No Power: Women Imagining Otherwise highlights the lives and practices of five artists from Southeast Asia for whom art, life, kinship and community are inseparable. Featuring Imelda Cajipe-Endaya (Philippines), Nirmala Dutt (Malaysia), Amanda Heng (Singapore), Dolorosa Sinaga (Indonesia), and Phaptawan Suwannakudt (Thailand), the exhibition honours their multi-faceted roles—not only as artists, but also as educators, writers or community organisers.
