The Singapore International Foundation (SIF) has launched Arts for Good (A4G) Projects – a programme that brings together artists and different sectors of society to collaborate on arts-based initiatives for social good.
The COVID-19 situation continues to impact the arts and culture scene globally. At the SIF, we remain committed in our support towards arts practitioners and their initiatives.
The Arts for Good Project should:
- Connect Singapore and global communities creatively for social good through the arts in view of social distancing practices and travel restrictions
- Facilitate active engagement with or participation by different communities across borders
- Feature digital means of production, presentation, collaboration or community engagement
- Promote cross-cultural understanding, international collaboration and positive social change
Funding Information
- Successful applicants will receive financial support of up to 100% of supportable project expenses, capped at S$20,000 per project.
What kind of projects can be carried out?
- They encourage you to explore creative and imaginative ways to facilitate engagement with or participation by different communities across borders.
