28 Aliwal Street, Singapore 199918
The annual multi-disciplinary festival organised by Aliwal Arts Centre is back! This year, we pay tribute to the basketry tradition and rattan shops of Arab Street from the 1960s onwards, through a host of interactive performances, workshops and activities for the whole family. Aliwal Arts Night Crawl aims to promote the eclectic mix of traditional and contemporary artists based in Aliwal Arts Centre, while paying homage to the rich cultural heritage of Kampong Glam. This year, Aliwal Arts Night Crawl will once again be organised in conjunction with Streets for People. Streets for People is a programme by the Urban Redevelopment Authority that supports community-initiated projects to transform our streets into meaningful public spaces.
