  National Arts Council Arts Education Programme
 
The National Arts Council Arts Education Programme (NAC-AEP) develops initiatives that advocate the value and importance of arts education. It connects the arts community with the education sector and supports the professional development of arts educators and arts education providers.

The NAC-AEP assesses and endorses arts education programmes offered by Singapore arts groups and arts education providers for schools. Endorsed programmes are then eligible for the Tote Board Arts Grant subsidy. Assessment of the arts education programmes are conducted by a panel of arts and education experts, principals and officials from the Ministry of Education and the National Arts Council. Endorsed programmes cover the Literary, Performing and Visual Arts and are categorised into three types: Arts Exposure, Arts Experience and Arts Excursion. 		85.jpg
   
           
  • Arts Exposure
    •  
          Arts Exposure programmes introduce students to a particular art form. The programmes are 30 to 40 minutes in duration and presented as performances. Each programme is accompanied by an explanation on the background and development of the art form or a talk-cum-demonstration segment.
       
             
  • Arts Experience
    •  
          Arts Experience programmes provide students hands-on participation in the various art forms. These programmes are suitable for smaller groups of students. The programmes are highly interactive and enhance students’ skills while expanding their capacity for creative thinking.
       
             
  • Arts Excursion
    •  
          Arts Excursion programmes refer to students’ attendance at performances at performing venues, and students’ visits to museums, art galleries, art centres, artists’ studios, theatres.
