Theme
The theme for Yellowren Arts Festival 2013 is centered on the Chinese character of 艺 (yì) that is translated as an art or a skill. The simplicity of this singular character evokes a sense of creativity and beauty that can be appreciated by everyone through the language of arts.
About the Festival
Yellowren Arts Festival 2013 spans across two contemporary Asian cities of Japan and Singapore. Yellowren Arts Festival 2013 premiered in Tokyo, Japan in the creative enclave of Shimokitazawa from 28 May to 2 June with “Dreams. Cities. Stories.” featuring a series of art exhibitions that mirror the dreams, aspirations, environment and lifestyle of city-dwellers.
Yellowren Arts Festival 2013 continues its journey and premieres in Singapore from 30 August to 1 September with fringe activities and a three-day festival that brings local artists together showcasing a series of art exhibitions, hands-on activities and music performances at Lower Seletar Reservoir in Yishun, a suburban town in the northern part of Singapore.
