*Note for those offering Pre-School Programmes:

APPLYING FOR PUBLIC ARTS PROGRAMMES

Outside of school, ad-hoc ticketed public performances and exhibitions presented by professional artists and arts groups in public arts venues are also endorsed under Public Arts Programmes, as part of the NAC-AEP Arts Excursion category. By providing students with opportunities to attend public performances and exhibitions in purpose-built arts venues beyond schools, it is hoped that Public Arts Programmes will imbue students with an appreciation of the art form, and value-add to their learning.  

 

  • Schools can also tap on Tote Board Arts Grant when purchasing approved Public Arts Programmes. 

 

Interested artists, arts groups and presenters may apply for their ticketed public performances or exhibitions to be endorsed under the Public Arts Programme Directory. All applications should be submitted through registered user accounts on the NAC Arts Education portal via CorpPass/ SingPass.
