Discover a more expressive side of Singapore through an insider-led exploration of the street art of Kampong Glam, guided by a local street artist actively shaping the city’s contemporary urban landscape. Designed as a cultural immersion rather than a conventional tour, the experience offers a deeper look at how creativity, identity and urban space come together within one of Singapore’s most visually distinctive neighbourhoods.

The experience begins with two hours exploring Kampong Glam on foot, visiting a carefully selected collection of murals and street artworks woven into the neighbourhood’s streets and everyday surroundings. Together with the artist, discover the stories behind the works, from their concepts and influences to the techniques used to bring them to life. Personal anecdotes and professional insight offer a different perspective on the relationship between artists, their work and the spaces they inhabit.

As we move through Kampong Glam, attention is drawn to the different styles, scales and techniques found across the area. Bold murals sit alongside smaller interventions, with colour, composition and placement often reflecting or challenging their surroundings. Along the way, there is time for conversation and discussion about the evolution of Singapore’s street-art scene, the creative process and the challenges of producing art within a highly structured urban environment.

Following the street-art exploration, the experience continues with a two-hour private graffiti workshop at Singapore Visual Arts Centre. Led by the same street artist, the workshop introduces professional spray-painting techniques and materials, providing an opportunity to put the inspiration from Kampong Glam into practice. Experiment with colour, composition and different techniques while creating an original piece of street art to take away.

By the end of the half-day experience, the streets of Kampong Glam offer more than a collection of colourful murals. Seen through the perspective of an artist who contributes directly to Singapore’s creative scene, they provide an insight into a living and evolving form of urban expression — before the workshop offers the chance to become part of that creative process ourselves.
