The First Ever Sustainable Kids Market at Marina Square

As part of Marina Square’s commitment to promoting sustainability and creativity, the mall has partnered with Peace of Art, a local not-for-profit organisation supporting children in need, to present Singapore's very first Sustainable Kids Market. The event will be held at the mall's atrium on 25 and 26 May 2024, from 11am to 8pm.

The Sustainable Kids Market is a part of the KIDSforKIDS initiative, a first-of-its-kind effort uniting children across Singapore to empower their less fortunate peers through the transformative power of the arts. The initiative aims to give every child a chance, regardless of circumstance or background.

"We invite children and communities across Singapore to join us on this meaningful journey. Whether you're passionate about art, sustainability, or simply want to make a difference, the Sustainable Kids Market is the perfect platform for you.” says Mrs. Eunice Yeo, Founder of Peace of Art SG. "By participating, the young (as well as the young at heart) not only explore their creative potential and support children in need, but experience the impact of collective action in driving positive change.”

Participants can engage in various activities, including setting up a booth to sell their creations, leading a workshop about sustainability, exhibiting and auctioning their art, performing, or organising a public art collaboration.

100% of the proceeds from the Sustainable Kids Market will directly aid vulnerable children living in Singapore's public rental flats, providing them with education, enrichment, and mentorship to break intergenerational poverty through Young Hearts by Singapore Red Cross.

"We are excited to host Marina Square’s first Sustainable Kids Market, providing a platform for aspiring changemakers to showcase their creativity while promoting environmental mindfulness," said Ms Chan Yien Mei, General Manager of Marina Square. "As a mall that encourages giving back to the community, it brings us great joy and satisfaction to see children, families and businesses coming together to raise funds for a good cause. We look forward to working with them to improve the lives of children in need."

Interested parties can find out more and register their interest to participate through the event website (https://sustainablemarkets.sg/) by 22 April 2024 or until spaces are filled.
