Visual Arts Centre

A central art education centre offering guided art jamming and themed painting workshops.

Visual Arts Centre

Visual Arts Centre is an art education institution and gallery-studio at Dhoby Ghaut Green, with another Chinatown gallery-studio listed on its site. Beyond regular art courses, it offers team bonding art jamming and workshops across acrylic painting, batik, Chinese ink, calligraphy, graffiti spray painting, urban sketching, tile painting, tote bag painting and more. Its Dhoby Ghaut glass-house studio is directly above the MRT area, making it highly accessible for groups. The centre also runs ongoing beginner workshops and SG Culture Pass art activities.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Visual Arts Centre is the most course-oriented name in this list, which is both its strength and its limitation. If your group wants proper guidance, multiple medium choices and an art-school-lite environment, it is a strong fit. The Dhoby Ghaut location is also extremely convenient. For casual art jamming, however, it can feel more structured and institutional than cosy independent studios or playful paint houses. It is best for learners, corporate groups and people who want facilitation with substance.

WHY THEY MADE THEBEST SG
