About ArtWalk@Wessex

Set against the beautiful leafy backdrop of Portsdown Road, just off the Green Corridor at Tanglin Halt, are the historical 1940s black and white colonial houses and walk-up apartments which make up Wessex Estate. Drawn to the big open spaces, nature, interesting architecture and a more alterative community, artists have been drawn to this area for decades.

The first open studio event took place in 2006, and since then there have been 23 art walks. The artist community in Wessex has seen many changes over the years, and artists have come and gone, however there is still an active group of artists in living and working in Wessex Estate. Currently 8 artists actively participate in the ArtWalk@Wessex and open their studio spaces bi-annually to the public.
