Result of Dempsey Hill sketchwalk. It was the last sketchwalk of the year 2013. Again, it was a great turn out and wishing more sketching fun in the new year 2014!
Dempsey Hill used to be the former Birtish army barracks and to most Singaporeans, the Central Manpower Base of Singapore (CMPB) where the young men reported for National Service to begin their compulsory military training for two and a half year after they completed their A level at 18-years-old. Males of my generation are still able to identify the parade square, and the old CMPB office premise. For me, I fondly remember this place as one of the locations for Singapore Biennale in 2009.

You can read about the history of Dempsey Hill here.

Last Sketchwalk of the Year

You have voted and the winning location this month is Dempsey Hill. Let's do it slightly earlier this month so it will be cooler. We will meet 9AM at Block 9 on Dempsey Hill, outside Jones The Grocer. There we will have a short briefing and you can spread out in any direction to draw. The area has lots to explore so don't just stick to the main area. At 12PM we will meet back again at Jones The Grocer where we will do our show and tell.

There isn't an MRT to gets to Dempsey Hill but there are some shuttle buses listed on their website (http://www.dempseyhill.com/location.htm) There are also quite a few public buses that pass by. Most of them can be boarded from Orchard Road. And then it is a short ride and walk to Dempsey.


Please see the map on their website for the location of Block 9 (http://www.dempseyhill.com/location.htm)

If you are really lost, you may call Andrew at 91070735. But only if you are really lost. If you are late, no worries, just look for sketchers scattered around the area and approach any of them. I don't think you can miss us.

See you there! Remember the new timing. 9AM-12PM. Merry Christmas!
