Overview of the Multicultural Arts Programme Grant (Productions)

This category supports the creation and presentation of high-quality works inspired by Singapore's multicultural traditions and identity, as well as co-creation across arts traditions and disciplines, with local and/or regional/international partners. These productions should seek to increase appreciation and participation in multicultural arts in Singapore, bringing Singaporeans from diverse backgrounds into shared cultural experiences. 

What does it cover?

The grant supports both the creation of original new works, as well as the adaptation and redevelopment of works, within the Performing, Visual, Literary, or Multi-disciplinary art forms of up to 24 months.

Application requirements

To provide a clearer sense of what form the resulting work will take and the merits of the proposal, we require applicants to submit supporting samples of past works most relevant to your application. Please refer to the project details and guidelines for more information.
