A Celebration of Creativity at Chivas’ ‘I RISE, WE RISE’ Pop-Up
Discover more about cocktails, art and NFTs at the new Chivas pop-up experience at Tyrwhitt Road.
Chivas recently unveiled their latest pop-up, ‘I RISE, WE RISE’, with a two-week takeover of coffeeshop Chye Seng Huat Hardware at 150 Tyrwhitt Road. With creativity at the heart of the experience, the pop-up brings together creative visionaries from different facets, promising a fortnight of chill activities, especially for those who are interested in NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and looking for a fresh cocktail bar experience.
Chivas Totem
Right in the courtyard of the ‘I RISE, WE RISE’ space stands a 4.2m Chivas bottle beacon, that features 200 old-design Chivas bottles. The huge bottle is built in the design of the new Chivas-12 bottles that are sleeker, lighter and made from 100% environmentally-friendly packaging. The illuminated installation also makes the perfect Instagram photo opportunity.
‘Proof of Art’ NFT Art Showcase
Featuring five artists from a variety of disciplines, the ‘Proof of Art’ NFT showcase highlights the works of MOJOKO, Kristal Melson, Jonathan Liu, Aundraj Jude and O$P$. These local and overseas artists have incorporated NFTs into their practice, elevated through their personal explorations of photography, music and even 3D surrealistic AR (augmented reality) amongst other styles. Curated by creative collective CTRL: UNIT, the artworks are a nod to the technology taking the art world by storm.
On view from 6 to 19 May from 12pm to 10pm daily. Admission is free.
