Hi Huneybees,
The Padang, an open green field in the heart of Singapore, well known as a hosting venue for Singapore's Nation Day Parade (NDP) as well as numerous outdoor sports such as rugby, cricket and Formula 1 races, has been transformed into a party space for art lovers and their families for 3 days from 27th till 29th November.

The star of the Art Carnival belongs to a stunning display of light, sound and visuals set against the building facade of the newly transformed National Gallery Singapore. Inspired by the
art within its walls, this show will run from 8pm, 9pm and 10pm for all three days.
As tonight is the last day of the Art Carnival, this show is not to be
missed!
