Art to Heart exhibition for enthusiasts

Bandar Seri Begawan - The Brunei Art Forum (BAF) will be hosting its second art exhibition `Art to Heart` from June 8 till June 22, in conjunction with the opening of the new Museum Art Gallery at the Old Customs Building.

The official opening of the exhibition is strictly for BAF members and invited guests only.

It will only be open to the public daily from 9am to 4.30pm starting June 2.

Students and artists of all mediums such as paintings, photography or sculpture, are welcome to participate and showcase their creativity.

A maximum of two artworks per artist is allowed.

Each submission must include a passport size photograph, profile and a label with title, artist name, medium, and price should the artist decide to sell the artwork. Artworks for sale will be sold through an open auction system. A percentage of the proceeds will go to the China and Myanmar disaster relief funds.

All entries must be submitted to the Museum Art Gallery on June 6 from 9am to 6pm.

Registration for "Art to Heart" will be done on location. The Brunei Art Forum was formed in 2003 with the aim of promoting creativity and bringing together `artists` of all calibres.

Jose Frietas Cruz, the former chairman with a small group of artists, played an instrumental role in the formation of the forum.

In January 2004, the BAF held its first art exhibition at the Brunei Museum, Kota Batu showcasing various artworks by local and expatriate members living in the country. Recently, the BAF held an EGM meeting at Rainforest Gallery, Kiulap where the interim Chairman, Dato Shofry Abdul Ghafor and his support team were appointed.

The BAF invites art students, artists of all mediums and fellow art enthusiasts to come to the AGM and help BAF to achieve its vision.

The AGM will be held on June 8 at 10am at the Museum Art Gallery, Old Custom Building.
