Arts and entertainment

Arts and entertainment

Singapore is a haven for the arts all year round. Its dynamic arts scene is richly influenced by their indigenous Malay culture, the heritage of Chinese and Indian migrants, as well as the city’s international outlook. As new contemporary forms evolve, traditional art forms are simultaneously being preserved to create an arts culture that is uniquely Singapore.

The Art Districts in Singapore include Central Arts Districts, Chinatown Arts Belt, Dempsey and Tanglin, Little India, and Riverside. There are also various art museums in Singapore like the Asian Civilisations Museums at Empress Place and Old Tao Nan School, Singapore Art Museum, and NUS Museums.

Many of Singapore's performing arts venues and institutions are more than just performance locations – they are architectural marvels in their own right. These venues include the Singapore Repertory Theatre, Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, The Substation and the University Cultural Centre.
