Tino Sidin's work on display

YOGYAKARTA: In a bid to commemorate as well as show
appreciation for once-prominent artist Tino Sidin, coffee shop
Ministry of Coffee, Jl. Prawirotaman, is running a 15-day
exhibition of the late artist's sketches.

Opened on November 25, Tino Sidin's birthday, the exhibition
will be officially closed on Dec. 9, 2004.

According to a release made available to The Jakarta
Post on Thursday, the newly opened coffee shop is
hoping that via the exhibition people will be
reminded of the works of the great artist, whose name
was very popular especially among school children.

Opened in August 2004, Ministry of Coffee
is a coffee shop that is not just a place for meeting and
relaxation but is also a community center as well as an
educational zone.

As such, therefore, the coffee shop is also furnished
with a library and puts on arts events.

An exhibition of Tino Sidin's sketches is its initial event,
in which a painting competition for kindergarten and
elementary school children, as well as for the public, is
also being held to honor the late artist.

The exhibition is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. --
