RWS Art : Dis celebrate SEA Aquarium 12th anniversary with art exhibit workshops

The painting is part of a larger project that aims to raise awareness about the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems.

The Art of Conservation

The SEA Aquarium’s 12th anniversary celebrations are a significant milestone in the organization’s history. To commemorate this occasion, the aquarium has unveiled a stunning new artwork series titled Evolving Oceans. This three-part artwork series features a collection of paintings that showcase the beauty and diversity of marine life found at the aquarium.

The Inspiration Behind the Artwork

The inspiration behind the Evolving Oceans artwork series is rooted in the aquarium’s mission to raise awareness about the impact of human activities on marine ecosystems. The series aims to highlight the importance of conservation and the need to protect our oceans from the effects of pollution, overfishing, and climate change. The artwork series features a diverse range of marine life, including fish, coral, and other invertebrates. The paintings are created using a combination of traditional and digital media.

The workshops will be held at the RWS Marina Bay Sands and will be open to the public.

Marine-Themed Art Workshops

The marine-themed art workshops will be a unique opportunity for participants to engage with the ocean and its inhabitants in a creative and interactive way.

The Open Ocean Habitat is also home to a variety of marine life, including sea turtles, stingrays, and sharks. Guests can get up close and personal with these creatures in the underwater viewing area.

Located in the heart of the city, the Open Ocean Habitat is a unique attraction that offers an immersive experience for visitors of all ages.
