Art is a manifestation of our humanity, it dignifies life.
The Substation has, over the last six years or so, played a crucial role in helping to make the cultural sparks of Singapore become bigger, warmer fires. The production of culture does not happen in a vacuum. The endowment fund was started by its current Artistic Director, T. Sasitharan in April 1996. Not only was it neccessary to seek new sources of funding after its chief benefactor, Guinness, stopped its sponsorship, but the endowment fund also seeks to create a mechanism for permanent sponsorship which is essential for its continued role as a creative dynamo. The wide spectrum of participating artists are an interesting array of living, practising artists in Singapore today.
