Supporting artists and community arts programmes

Our work is focused on communities in Singapore and the region.

Community Cultural Dimensions is a continuation of Community Cultural Development (Singapore), set up as a not for profit in 2012.

CCD aims to:

  1. Support professional development for artists who work with communities.
  2. Support volunteer welfare organisations in the conducting and evaluating arts programmes for the communities they serve, such as seniors, youth, those with special needs and the incarcerated.

It does so by:

  • Encouraging applied research methods as a means of critical evaluation and improvement of arts programmes conducted by artists.
  • Promoting a person-centered approach in the planning, conduct and evaluation of arts programmes with communities.

CCD also endeavours to host mini-forum platforms to present best practices in Applied Research for Arts with Communities and approaches using the Person-centered framework, to further develop the professional capacity of artists-facilitators and arts educators in Singapore.

Collaborating Organisations

CCD / CCD (Singapore) has collaborated with organizations, such as UNESCO-NIE CARE, the Singapore General Hospital, Changi General Hospital, Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, NTUC SilverAce Senior Activity Centre (Taman Jurong) the Chen Su Lan Methodist Children’s Home, Dementia Singapore, Catholic Junior College and the Singapore Teacher’s Academy for the aRts to develop research, discourse and programmes to enhance arts practices with communities.

PG Lee (Lee Pheng Guan) is a visual artist with an MFA from LASALLE College of the Arts and a degree in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College, University of London.

Practicing primarily in the media of video, sculpture, and installation; Lee frequently incorporates performances in his work as he examines the ephemeral nature of human existence coupled with personal and collective memories. He has exhibited locally and internationally and had his first solo show, Weight/less, in 2015 at the Institute for Contemporary Arts in Singapore. Since 2018, Lee has devoted much time engaging the community through art by conducting regular workshops and outreach programmes in children’s home and senior activity centres.
