Singapore Art Museum’s signature Think! Contemporary Preschool programme returns for its fifth edition with the exhibition Hello Future: Building a Wonderland. Partnering with eight preschools, this programme promotes learning through contemporary art for young children.
Bring your family to enjoy various free and creative drop-in activities using sustainable materials presented by SAM and STABILO!
What is Hello Future: Building a Wonderland
Hello Future: Building a Wonderland is part of the Think! Contemporary Preschool Programme, showcasing imaginative artworks by children inspired by the Singapore Art Museum’s (SAM) ongoing exhibitions at the Learning Gallery and Olafur Eliasson: Your curious journey, who have transformed everyday materials into captivating stories that highlight important themes of the environment and sustainability — offering a fresh perspective on building a greener Singapore.
The artworks show the effects of human activities on the environment and emphasize the importance of living sustainably. Guided by their teachers, the children learned how global warming affects our ecosystems and why it’s essential to protect the environment. They applied newly acquired techniques to transform found materials into meaningful artworks and stories that express their hopes for the future.
Explore this wonderland with your little ones to discover more about the future through contemporary art and see how children envision a sustainable future.
