Our work in arts

Our work is based on the power of the Arts to bring people together and build trust. Drawing on the UK’s strengths in creativity and innovation, through partnerships and collaborations between UK and Singaporean organisations and arts influencers, we provide opportunities for the exchange of knowledge and for the development of skills and new work. We focus strategically on significant long-term projects in order to deepen the impact and reach of our work.
