Culinary art adorns Orchard Road

-

SINGAPORE 5 June 2019: This June, Orchard Road is set to be adorned with 70 culinary-themed art pieces created by students from Singapore’s pioneer arts institution, Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA).

It is a partnership initiative by the Singapore Tourism Board and NAFA in support of Singapore being the host city of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants 2019, which will be held in Asia for the first time this June.

The artworks on display are anticipated to generate an air of excitement, engage Singaporeans, and welcome the internationally-renowned chefs, F&B industry professionals and visitors who will be in Singapore to partake in this highly-established global restaurant awards platform.

The art pieces, which are on display on glass shards along Orchard to Somerset from now until 27 June, were conceptualised and produced by over 50 second-year NAFA Fine Art students.

STB director of retail and dining, Ranita Sundramoorthy said: “With The World’s 50 Best Restaurants awards coming to Asia and Singapore for the first time in June 2019, we look forward to the global spotlight that will shine on Singapore.

“This comes on the back of the arrival of the world’s most prominent chefs, industry professionals and visitors, who will be in Singapore to attend the awards’ festivities. These striking art pieces by NAFA’s young talents will add to the spirited atmosphere of Orchard Road as we celebrate The World’s 50 Best Restaurants being in Singapore.”

STB first announced in October 2018 that it had entered into a multifaceted three-year partnership (2019 – 2021) to anchor a series of five 50 Best events in Singapore.

This marked the first time William Reed Business Media (WRBM), owner of the 50 Best brands, inked a multi-year agreement with a national tourism organisation which includes the World editions of both its Restaurants and Bars awards.

Besides The World’s 50 Best Restaurants taking place this June, Asia’s 50 Best Bars will take place in 2019 and 2020, followed by a standalone special edition of the #50BestTalks thought-leadership event in 2020, and finally The World’s 50 Best Bars awards in Singapore in 2021.
