Ongoing Studies

Population Survey on the Arts

The National Arts Council (NAC) is actively seeking feedback from residents in Singapore to improve the way we bring arts and culture-related activities to where residents like you live, work and play. As part of this on-going initiative, NAC has commissioned Verian, an independent market research firm, to conduct the 2023 edition of the survey. A Verian interviewer, has been authorised to conduct face-to-face, door-to-door interviews for the above-mentioned survey from January to March 2024, between 10am to 9pm daily. Your response is valuable in helping us to better understand how Singaporeans engage in arts and culture in Singapore.
