About Social Creatives
Our objectives are based on the rhetorical question: If you ask anyone in Singapore to draw a house on a piece of paper, a typical interpretation will be a square-shaped building with triangular roof. Perhaps there is a chimney, and on the square-shaped front there are two windows and a door. However, where can you find a house like that in Singapore? Surprisingly, no one draws HDB flats with poles hanging out of the many windows. Flats signify a unique and creative Singapore. This exercise shows a misalignment between what we see and how we feel about our home. We don’t see our Home as Creative. What we hope to do is to nurture a Creative Home, emotionally and visually.

About the Pocket Arts Guide
The Pocket Arts Guide (TPAG) was launched in 2009 under the name CONFABULATION and is Singapore’s leading arts publication. TPAG was established to provide local audience an easy-to-understand, non-exclusive coverage of various arts events and seeks to educate and inform those new to the arts. Topics range from the traditional fine arts such as paintings and sculptures to antiquities, the performing arts, installations, as well as film and photography.
Published monthly, the compact A5 Guide provides an insight into the local arts scene with unique reportage, nuanced articles and challenging interviews for our readers.
TPAG contains the most comprehensive pull-out art map in Singapore. This enables readers to have a fuss-free art walk around Singapore’s Art and Heritage District, as well as explore off-town art troves such as Dempsey, Wessex Estate and Holland Village.
The Guide is now an indispensable resource for navigating the local contemporary art scene; an essential reading to a huge and diverse audience interested in Singapore and Asia’s arts and culture.
Complimentary copies of TPAG is available at several places around Singapore including the Singapore Art Museum, National Library, Singapore Tourism Board’s Singapore Visitors Centre at Orchard, MICA building, leading art galleries art groups & venues, and museums.
