The Arts of Commissioning
One of The Foundation’s key thrusts is the export of Singapore arts which depends greatly on the creation of original works by Singapore artists. To grow the canon of original Singapore art, the Foundation will launch the Arts of Commissioning with the Music Commissioning Series – a 10-year project that aims to champion and commission high-quality musical works by Singapore composers.

Face To Face
The Foundation has invited 7 Singapore / Singapore-based artists to sketch past Presidents’ portraits, which will be presented in an exhibition. Through this project, we are engaging and promoting the local art and literary scene by commissioning local talent – artists, graphic designers and writers to contribute to the evolving narrative about the Presidency, while providing an alternative avenue for the public to learn more about Singapore’s history through the arts.

Asia Book Prize
The Asia Book Prize is a longer-term project that will involve international collaboration between The Foundation and similar agencies in other countries. It will focus on published books of fiction and non-fiction that provide social, cultural and artistic insights into Asia and have the potential to influence and reshape the interpretation of developments in Asia. The goal is to position the Prize as the premier global publishing award centered on invigorating and revitalising fresh perspectives on Asia and the evolution of Asian societies, with the impulse emanating from Asia itself.
