Singapore may be slowly reopening, but it seems like face masks are here to stay. Artists and museums all over the world are designing face masks that have become the accessory of choice for art lovers. And we're definitely here for it. At the Tate in London and Met in New York, works by famous artists have been reproduced on cloth – think Vincent van Gogh and Donna Wilson. In Singapore, more artists have emblazoned their works on limited edition masks. Intrigued? Make a statement with these best artist-designed face masks to show support for the local art and theatre community.

Rizman Putra

If you missed Art Encounters' travelling residency featuring Rizman Putra at the Malay Heritage Centre (MHC) last year, which came in the form of a black-light drawing installation that paid homage to the historic roots of Kampong Glam and its vibrant contemporary life, here's good news. You can now relive the magic of his work with this limited-edition series of face masks featuring the artist's illustration in its signature bold neon colours. 

Every mask you purchase lends critical support to help keep Art Outreach's public education programmes running at a time when funding for the arts is scarce. Additionally, for each mask sold, $1 will be pledged to the SGUnited fund through Giving.sg.

Minor Miracles

Minor Miracles was born out of Dawn Bey's love for fashion and prints. And aren't we stoked that her eclectic and vibrant designs now come in the form of face masks as well? 

The masks come in two prints – The Florist's Palette and Breath of Gerberas – and are printed on 100 per cent polyester. Grab them early, because they get sold out pretty quick.
