  • Education

    School Education Programmes

    DECK Student Education Programme was launched in 2012 with the primary goal of elevating the levels of visual literacy amongst our primary, secondary and tertiary level students. We firmly believe that Photography is a powerful means of personal expression and an intuitive way to communicate how we see our world. By developing our student’s photographic line of inquiry, our courses are designed in mind to not only to equip our young people with the essential technical skills, but to also enable them with the visual vocabulary to express creative ideas through Photography.

Support Our Artist Residency Through Photobooks📗 

Our Pilot Artist Residency, a collaboration with Jiazazhi Press (now known as Zai Zai Zai!) in Ningbo, showed us the power of photobooks – reframing the world in surprising ways. Now, we’re ready to grow this into an annual programme, giving local photographers the time, space, and support to bring their ideas to life.

🌱 This preview of Marvin Tang's @marvin.tang photobook, "A Guide to Tree Planting," offers a glimpse into the profound stories waiting to be told. 

Help us make it happen. Every donation fuels our programme and the creation of photobooks. Make a donation via the link in our bio!

Shop–House by DECK is a living, breathing space that invites you to create, connect, and grow. Part residency, part exhibition space, it’s a home for artists, audiences, and collaborators alike. We offer time, space, and freedom — a fertile ground for exploration, reflection, and expression. Whether you’re here to make, share, or simply be, Shop–House holds space for the process as much as the outcome.

Here, we sow the seeds for a new season of DECK, growing together through shared practice, thoughtful conversation, and the flourishing of commuxnity. 

Follow us for more opportunities and announcement coming your way soon.

A new chapter begins.

Nestled in two conservation buildings, Shop–House is a space to slow down, connect, and create.

With residencies, exhibitions, a photobook library, and gatherings, it’s where photography and ideas take root.

Our doors open soon — and you’re warmly invited to be part of what’s next.

Leading up to the opening of 𝐺𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑒𝑛 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑒𝑠, we sat down with Marvin Tang where city life and nature collide for an open conversation about his thoughtful practice. Through a decade of research, Marvin’s works unravel the intricate ways that nature is woven into Singapore’s national identity, revealing connections you might not have noticed before, and why Singapore’s wild side is so much a part of who we are.

The chat with our homegrown artist also touched on how the late Prime Minister Mr Lee Kuan Yew’s original Garden City vision for our city still resonates today, especially meaningful as we celebrate Singapore’s 60th birthday.

🌿 Garden States opens 29 August, next Friday, at Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall.

🌿 Garden States by Marvin Tang
🔜 Our second installation at Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall
 🎉 Guest of Honour Senior Minister of State Low Yen Ling

DECK's second installation at the Guoco Midtown Public Art Wall features Garden States, the first solo exhibition at the space by local artist, Marvin Tang. The opening ceremony, graced by Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth & Trade and Industry as our esteemed Guest of Honour will take place on 29 August (Friday), from 7-9PM. The exhibition presents five bodies of works that explores Singapore’s evolving relationship with its environment. From man-made mountains to guerrilla gardens, Marvin documents how nature manifests in this city, where it is at once embraced, removed, controlled, and instrumentalised as a reflection of the country's needs and aspirations. Join us as we uncover hidden histories and explore how nature intertwines with a nation’s identity and ambition.

📍 Getting here:
 By train – Underpass from Bugis MRT Exit F (Downtown Line) to Guoco Midtown
 By car – Park at Guoco Midtown and take the escalator near the office entrance toward the underpass to MRT
