From Christmas decorations to benches in malls, LASALLE students and alumni played an important role in bringing art to the public this year. Here are some highlights.

‍

The Wing Tai x LASALLE Urban Living Art collaboration was unveiled on 20 October at Wing Tai’s newly completed residential development The M at Middle Road. A collaboration three years in the making, this is a first-of-its-kind initiative which engages local artists on the creation and curation of artworks from the initial design stage of a residential development. The project features four unique art installations created by alumni of LASALLE’s McNally School of Fine Arts and School of Spatial and Product Design: BA (Hons) Fine Arts' Ashley Yeo, Sai and Hilmi Johandi, together with BA (Hons) Interior Design's Shirley Tan, Brandon Yeo, and Vicknesan Subramaniam.

Visitors to the many picturesque malls in the Marina Central distict, such as Suntec City, Millenia Walk and Marina Square, enjoyed an extra thoughtfully-designed space to catch a breather mid-shopping from May to June 2024. The Sociable Scape collaboration between Marina Central and LASALLE's School of Spatial & Product Design saw students design eight pieces of innovative public seating, inspired by the places, histories and cultures of Singapore, which were then professionally fabricated and installed at the malls.

Students from LASALLE's Faculty of Design lit up Wisma Atria for Christmas in 2023, with centerpiece decor by Bae Kyungsoo, Diploma in Creative Direction for Fashion, who won the mall's open call for design submissions in collaboration with LASALLE. Kyungsoo was inspired by Wisma Atria's iconic historical basement aquarium to create an aquatic wonderland display.

During their semester break in December 2023, five student volunteers from the Diploma in Animation and BA (Hons) Animation Art programmes dedicated their time to create a joyful, loving mural for the NTUC Health Nursing Home in Tampines. The mural not only adorned the physical space but also became a symbol of the students' dedication to using their artistic talents to make a positive impact in the lives of others. Most importantly, it is a testament to the long-standing partnership between the Home and LASALLE, in bringing cheer and warmth to the residents of the Home.
