POP Mart donation

Foundation for The Arts and Social Enterprise is honoured to receive a generous donation from POP MART, derived from the recent Phillips auction of the limited-edition MEGA SPACE MOLLY 400% Royal Selangor. POP MART has graciously contributed SG$ 11,000 to support the UTOPIA Reimagined initiative, a programme dedicated to empowering Singaporean artistes and advancing the arts within and beyond Singapore.

Michael Tay, Founder and Executive Director of The Foundation, expressed gratitude for POP MART’s support: “This generous contribution from POP MART allows us to continue fostering Singapore’s artistic talent and elevating the arts scene. With their support, we can bring even more ambitious projects to life and provide artists the resources to explore their creativity and vision.”

UTOPIA Reimagined provides a platform for local artists to explore and express their interpretations of “utopia” through original commissioned works across various artistic disciplines. This initiative nurtures innovation and storytelling, allowing diverse voices to contribute to Singapore’s growing cultural landscape. With POP MART’s support, the programme can now expand, offering even more opportunities for Singaporean artists to create impactful works that resonate globally.

POP MART’s involvement reflects its commitment to merging art with philanthropy, creating meaningful collaborations that enhance cultural spaces worldwide. The auctioned MEGA SPACE MOLLY 400% Royal Selangor piece exemplifies this vision, blending intricate Eastern and Western design elements to bridge collectible culture with artistry.

Through this partnership, POP MART joins The Foundation in its mission to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive arts ecosystem, enriching Singapore’s cultural fabric and inspiring art enthusiasts.
