SINGAPORE: From August, citizens across Singapore will be able to like a normal network of arts activities such as shows, workshops and activities.
The two-year initiative, titled ArtsEverywhere@CDC, was jointly launched on Saturday ( Jul 27 )  , by the National Arts Council ( NAC ), People’s Association ( PA ) and the five Community Development Councils ( CDCs ).
By bringing the artists to the strongholds, such activities may be “more available for people of all ages to enjoy and engage with the art up, in the vicinity of their houses,” according to the authorities.
There will be large-scale monthly appearances at two outlet locations in each city, including border arts and culture activities, with an expected approach of over 50, 000 residents, they added.
Speaking at the , release of the , program, which was attended by , Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong and other mayors,  , South East District president Fahmi Aliman said it was in line with the , Our SG Arts Plan , to “build a attached area”.
” We are dedicated to bringing a variety of craft experience to our communities.  , Every month, members of the public may look forward to art shows…  , and develop a greater respect for the art through these shared experience”.
In a Instagram post, Mr Tong said the “quality art content”, ranging from dance and music to theatre performances, may increase the “kampong nature” in Singapore.
The government added that by assisting them in reaching and developing audiences, it may encourage the development of local art companies.
Artists and art organizations can increase their market and raise awareness of their artistic expressions, according to them, by re-staging and adapting works for various settings.
As more people, companions, and stakeholders encounter and learn their works, we hope this action will continue to provide new job opportunities for artists and arts organizations.
Desmond Choo, the president of the North East District, added that musicians and businesses must have access to tools and options in order to “flourish and thrive.”
Some of the artists , performing from August to October as part of the , program include , NADI Singapura, an outfit that fuses standard Malay instruments with dancing and singing,  , Brahmastra, an , Indian fusion social led by traditional flautist Niranjan Pandian, Ding Yi Music Company, a , Foreign chamber ensemble that will perform classics from the late Teresa Teng to ABBA, and the lauded Philharmonic Wind Orchestra.
Other events include percussion and drumming workshops, eco and origami workshops, and various art installations.
