A free art exhibition featuring Singapore's creative talents will be open to the public till Nov. 26.

This is the third edition of the annual Temenggong-SG-Creatives show.

It will be held at a colonial house at Temenggong Road, organised by Temenggong Artists-In-Residence.

Temenggong Artists-In-Residence, founded by Singapore artist Henri Chen KeZhan, is a private non-profit charity that manages art residency programmes and provides free arts exhibitions and events.

With the theme of "Expressing Heritage: The Presence of Memory", the exhibition is inspired by the Chinese phrase "不忘初心" which serves as a reminder to not forget one's original intention and to fulfil this intention.

It reflects the charity's mission of supporting fellow artists and the arts projects.

Three handpicked artists from diverse creative industries will be presenting their interactive artworks.
