In his brief remarks, guest of honor Representative Francis Kuo-Hsin Liang said the art exhibition reflects the growing cultural and art exchanges between Singapore and Taiwan, and expressed his hope for still more of such exchanges and creative collaborations as Taiwan continues to promote its “New Southbound Policy”.

The exhibition features 38 artworks by 29 young Taiwanese artists. These artworks, which are purchased under the “Art Bank program”, provides a platform for budding Taiwanese artists to extend their reach beyond Taiwan.
