Grace Chew: Transformation, an inaugural solo art exhibition
SID showcases the inaugural solo exhibition of Grace Chew, featuring up to 50 works from oil to Chinese paintings and calligraphy, together with a panel session. Experience art where Eastern and Western traditions meet to celebrate life, nature and personal journeys. Then join us for a panel discussion: The Art of Enterprise: Leveraging creativity for strategic innovation in the boardroom. We explore how traditional corporate strategies often fall short in addressing complex challenges in today’s fast-evolving business landscape. In bridging the gap between creative thinking and executive decision-making, we tackle issues around creative problem-solving, innovative leadership, risk-taking and adaptability amid uncertainty. The business-artist mindset seeks to shift the conversation from rigid analytical models to a more fluid, iterative approach to business strategy.
