The arts, for everyone
We believe the arts have the power to move people, bring communities together, and make Singapore a more vibrant place to live. The National Arts Council funds artists, enlivens spaces for artmaking, performances, and community programmes, making sure the arts are never far from where you are — whether you're a practising artist, a student, or someone who simply loves a good show. What we do is for you.
