DREAMSEEDS ARTS FEST 2023
Taking Charge!
Dreamseeds Arts Fest embraces possibilities and the spirit of perseverance.
A festival made with love, lots of adventure and sprinkled with magic by children and youths of Club Rainbow (Singapore)! As artists, musicians, and performers, let the children and youths take you on a delightful journey of their inner worlds as they dream of the future and take charge.
First unveiled in 2016, Dreamseeds Arts Fest champions inclusivity in the arts. It offers the beneficiaries of Club Rainbow (Singapore) an opportunity to realise their creative potential and connect with the community through the arts. These young talents are supported with resources and opportunities to work with local creative practitioners. This year marks the seventh edition of the festival.
After two digital editions in 2020-2021, we return as an onsite presentation this year. Navigating between virtual and reality, how has the experience been so far for you? Our collaborative artmaking activity POMDEMIC invites you to think about it. Each pompom, whether big or small, signifies the scale of impact on us and possibly puts into perspective how the pandemic has taken over our lives - through pompoms.
Through participants’ involvement in the craft-making process and roping our community in the installation, a visual explosion unveils a collaborative expression of the impact. Express your thoughts by making pompoms and pom-barding the exhibition venue with us!

Collaborative Doodling Mural Programme & Installation with Band of Doodlers
Please note that this programme will be the final Visual Arts artist-collaborative IBP leading up to DSAF.
As part of Club Rainbow’s Interest-Based Programme (IBP), CRS is collaborating with local artists Band of Doodlers for a Collaborative Doodling Mural Programme and Installation. Beneficiaries will participate in a 2-day workshop to learn basic character doodling and illustrate on individual customised shapes, which will be pasted on a large wall in DSAF 2018 exhibition. This programme is suitable for beneficiaries who wish to engage with a simpler art form to produce unique doodles on their individual panels. Participating beneficiaries will be able to bring home their individual panels after the end of DSAF 2018.
Artist collaborations this year will adopt a more inclusive structure that directly involves beneficiaries in the installation creation process – allowing greater interaction and conversations between engaged artists and participating beneficiaries. Participants will be coached towards creating works that reflect the resulting installations’ aesthetics and concept, learn more about production considerations artists face for large-scale projects, and have the opportunity to develop listening, critical thinking, writing skills, and visual communication skills.
WORKSHOP DATES:
20 October (Saturday): 2 – 4pm
27 October (Saturday): 2 – 4pm
Note: This is a progressive programme that leads to a final collaborative installation piece at DSAF 2018 - participants are strongly encouraged to attend all 2 sessions.
