Kar Mun Phoon jumped in with both feet when offered the opportunity to be guest curator for The Lock-up's annual Collect show, which showcases works for sale from local artists in a once-a-year fund-raiser for edgy creative space with a national reputation.

Phoon is a local dentist by trade, but an artist by passion. It's been a hectic run by Phoon, since the beginning of 2022 organising the show, but more than 100 works from 93 artists are in the building, hung and ready to show for the opening weekend.
