Mark Signorio Vice President, Interior Design, Sands “We design our restaurants and lounges to be transportive, inviting guests to step into different worlds through immersive artworks that take them on interactive journeys to explore their beauty and significance. Providing deeper meaning to our spaces, art is woven into every aspect, from floors, ceilings and walls to the menus that display our creations. One of our most vivid examples is the authentic Japanese artwork that brings the dining experience at Marina Bay Sands’Wakuda to life. Setting the stage, guests walk through interactive Japanese Noren screens in the restaurant’s spaces, and large ceiling murals add vibrance to dining areas. Elemental themes of fire, Earth and water – integral to food creation – complement the culinary offerings fromJapan-born chef TetsuyaWakuda.” Eve Hoon Director of Partnerships & Programmes, Art Outreach Singapore “As an organization dedicated to promoting art appreciation and strengthening networks in the local art ecosystem in Singapore, Art Outreach strives to create platforms that support the creation and sharing of work by art practitioners with the public. We aim to foster a visually literate community that is comfortable engaging with visual art by presenting a slate of accessible and engaging programs. This vision comes together in HEARTH, our community art space, which provides a platform for independent artists in Singapore to delve into diverse mediums and rich artistic explorations that often engage with wider social or environmental themes.We are deeply grateful to Sands for enabling us to grow HEARTH and this mission through the Sands Cares Accelerator program.” At Wakuda in Marina Bay Sands, classically trained Japanese calligraphy artist Jun Inoue developed an exclusive collection of Noren screens and ceiling artwork using traditional dying techniques and elaborate details. We Live in an Ocean of Air by Marshmallow Laser Feast in the VR Gallery at Marina Bay Sands’ ArtScience Museum enabled visitors to explore their connections to the environment, ecosystems and nature. The Pareidolia, Journey of an Eccentric exhibition by Roy Payamal and Salty Xi Jie Ng was one of 10 projects featured at Art Outreach Singapore’s HEARTH community art space. Honor Harger Vice President, Attractions & ArtScience Museum, Marina Bay Sands “At Marina Bay Sands, we celebrate the vibrant cultural and natural heritage of Singapore in a variety of ways throughout our property. One of the most impactful examples is the marriage of art with environmental sustainability at ArtScience Museum.We believe that the emotional connections made possible by art, and the understanding generated by science, may give us the tools to tackle some of the systemic problems the world faces. Our focus is on immersive art with intention – to educate visitors about complex topics, while inspiring them to care more deeply about the natural world and our impact on it. Thus, we have made it our mission to showcase the magic of art, science, culture and technology coming together. It is in the space where these disciplines meet that we can discover new ideas and create innovation.” APPENDIX GOVERNANCE SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT OUR PERFORMANCE INTRODUCTION OUR STRATEGY 47 CLOSING
