Though the full list will go live only on Sept 1 at sgculturepass.gov.sg, some arts groups are already advertising what they have to offer.

Currently, about 40 per cent of events listed are live performances, while workshops and talks form another 30 per cent. The majority, 70 per cent, are priced at $50 or less, so you should be able to use your $100 credits on at least two tickets.

Here are some early picks to look at.

ART WORKSHOPS

The Visual Arts Centre near Dhoby Ghaut MRT station has a whopping 18 programmes approved by the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth.

From leather, tile- and batik-painting workshops to figurine making to caricature drawing, these are pitched at those brave enough to throw out reservations about their "artistic abilities" and get their hands dirty.

Elsewhere, there are more options for the connoisseur in paper-and magnet-making courses and sessions on book-binding.
