Sky High
The folks at 1-Altitude has something good up their sleeves. They are turning their current 282M and City Golf space—an interactive sports bar concept—into a sleek, futuristic lounge. To be launched in February next year, the stylish, minimalistic white-washed concept will boast VIP bottle services as well as a downtempo music playlist—making it one of the potentially cooler joint to chill out in after work around the CBD.

Art Beat
Good news for art fans. There will be lots to look forward to next year during Singapore Art Week taking place Jan 13-19. Apart from the mammoth Art Stage Singapore featuring more than 100 galleries exhibition, other highlights include ART IN MOTION, a bespoke art tour that will bring you to 13 participating galleries including Chan Hampe Galleries, Art-2 and Art Plural (with brunches and cocktail receptions thrown in for good measure), and Aliwal Urban Art Festival (Jan 18, 5pm), a vibrant one-night music-meets-street art fest featuring an energetic lineup of live bands, DJs, street art and dance performances by some of the city’s most talented artists including Masia One, Fungkimunkees, Darker Than Wax, +65 Drum & Bass, O$P$ and the RSCLS.

Making the Cut
Lots of developments in our local movie scene. Following the success of Ilo Ilo’s Anthony Chen wins at overseas awards, local short filmmakers will be shown some love at the next edition of the Singapore Short Film Awards, organized by The Substation and Objectifs. The award ceremony will be held at The Substation some time in February, with filmmakers vying for prizes in categories such as Best Feature, Best Documentary and Best Director.
