One of our oldest staff members who have been with us since Day 1, Kevin handles practically everything related to our day-to-day operations from accounts, technical stuff, venue bookings, digitising tapes, recording and editing videos, cleaning the fridge and carpet stains, and also playing bass, drums, and guitar when needed.

After almost 6 years, we figured it’s a good time that you get to know the wonderful team that keeps our humble gallery running!

First up is Elaine Augustin, currently the main guide for our gallery tours, she’s most likely the person who gets you intimately acquainted with what we do.

A part-time gardener, an ardent volunteer for charity causes and a passionate former member of a dragon boat team, Elaine also chips in with our archival work, cleaning, digitising, and inputting data from our treasure trove of vinyls, film slides and negatives.

Drop a comment below if you’ve enjoyed a tour from Elaine before!
