* About OPEN * Meal: Arts Community

Starting for the month of March, Every Thursday night from 7-9pm for the month of March at food #03 (109, Rowell Road, telephone: 6396 7980)

We will have a volunteer from arts comm to sit in, advice or listen - anyone from the arts community can come in to talk about any problems or ideas.


How did it come about?
Basically, the premise of the idea came from two experiences. One was when I was in Germany, my guest picked up a hitchhiking German carpenter guildsmen (Zimmerman) - trained in a traditional carpentry where he must travel around and offer his services and work for food, boarding and cost of travel).

They told me of pubs in Germany which offered boarding and meals for the guildsmen in a pay-it-forward system where the first meal and boarding was paid forward by a guildsmen long ago and since then every meal and boarding  was paid for by the previous guildsmen.

2nd experience came about when a peer from Cat Welfare Society (CWS) who informed their volunteers or members that someone from CWS would sit in every thursday at Food #03 evening to chat or give advice. Similar services were also offered by Chan Ming + Alvin from MIC Human Aid, who offered advice on humanitarian services.

So I thought, I would offer the first meal and drinks for the OPEN * Meal: arts community.

We will have a volunteer from arts comm to sit in, advice or listen - anyone from the arts comm can come in to talk about any problems or ideas.

Arts Comm members who come to OPEN * Meal will have a 20% off for their meals or drinks.
