Yet some persistent issues remain which require a different arena for a more in-depth analysis. The Friday Event offers a new space for thrashing out issues affecting art practitioners and art development in Singapore. The discussion will cover a wide range of the arts from literary to the visual and performing arts. 20 artists, including both established and the new, have been gathered to speak of their experiences and an open dialogue will follow with an audience comprising members of the public.
Attendance is free.
At the end of 4 sessions, the discussion will be documented in a series of papers as invaluable record of actual experiences today in the Singapore art scene and to serve as resource materials for the future. The venue is The Substation classroom and the time is 7.30 to 9.30pm. The Friday Event has been organised by concerned citizens , Luanne Tay, Amanda Heng, Shirley Soh and Felicia Low, who are working with the arts and culture. The Friday Event has been kindly sponsored by The Substation , Lee Foundation and the National Arts Council.
