On Sat Dec 20, and Sun 21, 2008, the Mission participated in the Art for Grabs event, organised by the Annexe Gallery, Central Market. Here are some scenes from that event. It was really fun and as you can see from this photo on the above left, there were many other NGOs and private companies participating that day to promote their work. It was a great weekend of sharing and learning (please read more about the Annexe Gallery http://www.annexegallery.com). Above right : Second from left is Chung Wei, Art Director of Annexe Gallery, Central Market posing with Agnes Peter, and our 2 Deaf helpers of the day - Joan Yong Shiao Ping, and Jeffrey Gilbert. We thank Chung Wei and the Directors of the Annexe Gallery for inviting us to be part of the Art for Grabs event. So exciting it was to see the creativity in the items that were promoted.
