TheBearProject Charity Art Show - The Auction Continues

The organizing committee of the TheBearProject Charity Art Show would like to thank you for taking time off to come to our event last Saturday. Your presence helped make our big “coming out” event at Singapore’s Indignation festival a big success. The auction of art works raised more than $5,700 for The Necessary Stage’s Triangle Project as well as a number of other charities.

If you still considering buying pieces from the show, you can view some of them below and bidding is open until the end of September. Half of the proceeds will still go to Necessary Stage's - The Triangle Project and the other half will be equally divided and donated anonymously to The Straits Times-School Pocket Money Fund, Assisi Hospice and NANAS (Noah’s Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary).

TheBearProject has only been up and running for a year, and the group is truly grateful for the enormous support it has received from local gay community sites like Fridae and Trevvy, fellow gay groups and members of the gay community like yourselves. With your continuing support, we hope to contribute even more in the years to come.

So thank you all once again!

best regards,
Organizing Committee of TheBearProject Charity Art Show

"Everybody Has AIDS" by Thomas Tan

Thomas was trained as a fashion designer in Temasek Polytechnic and currently works as a design consultant. He travels extensively and works with some of the most popular American labels in the market. Thomas started sketching when he was 8 years old and hasn't looked back since, counting Coco Chanel and Cristobal Balenciaga among his list of heroes.
“Everybody has AIDS” is about how no one is spared from the dreaded but preventable disease. The gradating red colour on the t-shirt shows the growing numbers of people with HIV, while the many faces that make up the AIDS ribbon celebrate those who worked hard in fighting the disease. It also serves to remind us that we can never tell who is HIV positive.
