Singapore Art Show 2005
Organised by the National
Arts Council, Singapore Art Show (SAS) aims to be a national platform for both
established as well as up-and-coming local visual artists to showcase their
latest artworks. It also serves as an important avenue for public appreciation
of the diverse visual arts practices found in Singapore.
The programme structure of SAS is currently being developed. To be launched in
2005, it will allow for the showcase of artworks from various genres and medium
by Singapore artists, as well as seek to engage the visual arts community in
Singapore through outreach components, public art, platforms for the discovery
of new talents, and prestigious awards.
SAS is part of an integrated framework of two exciting biennial visual arts
platforms developed to provide expanded and diverse visual arts showcases in
Singapore. The other is the Singapore Biennale which will focus on the
development and presentation of South-east Asian and Asian contemporary art in
the international scene. These two biennials aim to further nurture our visual
arts talents, capabilities and audiences nationally, regionally, and
internationally.
