A large crowd packed Artistry for the Fuze Night June event, as all present heard from Alvin Li (Givo), Denise Chow (Yellow Ribbon Project), Peter Draw and Avishek Das (Twitter). A newly-formed musical collaboration, LILO - our very own Rebekah Lin and Lin Jiahe provided relaxing entertainment for the evening.
We had a record turnout at our Fuze Night May event with over 120 people attending. Cramming into the cool and trendy Lepark space, the audience got to hear stories of collaborations making a difference from Wong Li-Lin, Bjorn Low (Edible Garden City), Carmen Low (Lepark), Jay Che (Circus in Motion) and Deryne Sim (Pink Dot SG). Tim de Cotta also performed original soulful pieces to entertain the crowd!

Guest performances by Zsa Zsa Scorpion and Amanda Tee.
Over sixty guests gathered for an evening of fun and inspiration at Ya Kun Kaya Toast (Orchard Central) for Be An Idea’s Vision 2.1 event held on the last Wednesday of February.
On January 27, Singapore’s non-profit rockstars and local change-makers came together for Fuze Night, a unique bi-monthly event for the social sector to network, enjoy speakers and live music, and enhance their professional know-how. Artistry Café generously hosted the evening and was soon packed solid by the high event turnout.
Inspiring. Funny. Moving. Awesome. These are just some of the words event attendees used to describe Be An Idea's Vision 2.0 event which profiled talented thought-leaders from international non-profits to local social enterprises.
More than 60 professionals and volunteers from the non-profit and social impact space joined us at Artistry Café for Be An Idea’s 4th Fuze Night, making it our most successful event to date.
On July 22, Fuze Nights landed at Artistry Cafe for another social night serving Singapore’s philanthropy community, providing a welcome break from saving the world. The evening represents an opportunity to relax, connect and learn for the social impact sector. In all, over 30 professionals from social causes, non-profits and community organisations attended the event and 50 viewers joined the live stream of the event.
Over 30 social impact leaders and innovators attended the first ever Fuze Night event at Artistry on June 24. The event, loosely emulating what Web Wednesday is for digital folks, aims to bring together people from the social impact space for a relaxed evening of connecting and the opportunity to hear industry insights from a respected speaker in a particular field.
Held at Artistry for its fourth installment, Be an Idea Vision 1.4 presented stories of inspiration around social enterprises. Five social innovators shared how they were making a difference on their own terms.
The third chapter of Be An Idea’s Vision kicked off last Wednesday evening on the top floor of Lime House, one of the many trendy restaurants that have emerged along Keong Saik Road over the last few years.
Part of an effort to inspire social narratives in Singapore, Vision takes place once a month, with a variety of socially inclined individuals taking the helm. This program featured a series of six speaker sessions, run in the style of Pecha Kucha.
Like its predecessor that was held in late January, Vision 1.2 is a platform for social change-makers to speak about the causes they’re supporting; a chance for them to not so much give a sales pitch for the organisations that they’ve aligned themselves with, but just to tell their stories.
