An exciting art exhibition, ballet in the park, a feast for makan lovers, some gripping theatre and an awesome club night – Singapore continues to show us what it’s got as we delve deeper into July. Check out our top 5 picks of what to do around town this week:
1. Let art light up your life with Edition(ed)
Art Galleries Association Singapore lays on its second annual exhibition, Edition(ed), held at Artspace@Helutrans with 23 participating galleries featuring over 70 works ranging from photographs to prints and sculptures to digital works by more than 30 artists. With works on sale from $300, it’s well worth a visit whether you’re just looking or a budding collector.

2. Watch magic unfold before your eyes at Ballet Under The Stars
OK so ballet might not be your thing, but we promise you that Ballet Under The Stars will take your breath away regardless. The annual outdoor performance is quite breathtaking, and a wonderful opportunity to unwind with a sumptuous picnic spread at Fort Canning.

3. Eat food and do good at The Hawker Sessions
If you haven’t yet made it down to The Hawker Sessions – uh, where have you been? Another Friday night of live music, performances, games, auctions, awesome folks and your favourite local dishes plus a chance to show some love to Lavender Food Centre before it closes down.

4. Take in some theatre with The Pillowaman
Fancy a night of dark, twisted theatre? Then bag some tickets for The Pillowman, and follow the the interrogation of writer Katurian by two detectives, who has been accused of committing a spate of murders in his town. Set in a totalitarian state and peppered with wonderfully twisted characters, The Pillowman puts a dark spin on seemingly familiar fairy tales.
The Pillowman is showing on 17th – 26th July at Drama Centre Theatre, 100 Victoria Street, 05-01, National Library Building, Singapore, 188064. For more information and ticketing see SISTIC here.
5. Make way for a super awesome party with Kitsune Club Night
Uber cool record label and tastemaker Kitsuné will be rolling into town to celebrate their tenth anniversary with their Kitsuné Club Night. Promising to be an amazing party (Singers is one of three lucky destinations!) with none other than Maison Kitsuné’s creative director Gildas at the helm, if this don’t get you dancing, ain’t nothing will.
Kitsune Club Night is taking place on 18th July at Velvet Underground, Zouk Singapore, 17 Jiak Kim Street, Singapore, 169420. For more information see their Facebook event page here.
