Participation in the arts in Singapore is impressive. Participation refers to audience attendance and/or involvement in the art making process. And this appears to be synonymous with engagement. The impressive numbers demonstrate a proliferation of art in the community. There is not a week that goes by without a performance, exhibition, workshop or art conference. They are necessary and significant to behold.

How does an artist uphold beliefs and ideas in the business of the arts & community in Singapore?
