Lunar New Year Celebrations at UAS! 🧧🎉   We welcomed 2025 with our first-ever sharing session, held alongside our Lunar New Year celebrations - bringing together the UAS community with colleagues from LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts for an intellectually stimulating start to the year. A symbol of intelligence and creativity, the zodiac sign Snake is a fitting sign for University of the Arts Singapore (UAS) – where ideas flourish, and the next generation of new creatives take the lead.   As we embrace the new year, we look forward to our upcoming Career Fair, Open House @ UAS, UAS Arts Education Symposium, and other signature events.

We are pleased to announce the official opening of the Central Arts Library (CAL), a transformative initiative in partnership with the National Library Board (NLB). With its new vibrant spaces at the National Library and our dedicated UAS node at the National Design Centre, CAL offers an extraordinary collection of over 5,500 design and applied arts titles, including books, music scores, and films, providing invaluable resources for the arts community. Graced by the Minister of State for Digital Development and Information, Rahayu Mahzam, the opening marks a significant step in enhancing accessibility to the arts and fostering creativity across Singapore. Whether you are an artist, student, or art enthusiast, CAL offers a dynamic environment for inspiration and exploration. Through such initiatives, we continue to shape the next generation of creatives. Photo credit: National Library Board

We had the honour of hosting Minister for Education Chan Chun Sing and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Shawn Huang at the University of the Arts Singapore, LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts. During the visit, they had the opportunities to interact with the students and faculty, enjoy showcases of students’ creations and performances. This visit underscores the significance of fostering artistic innovation and education, as we continue shaping the future of the arts in Singapore. Catch highlights of their visit in the video below! #UniversityofTheArtsSingapore #ArtsEducation

We're thrilled to announce that UAS has joined South West Community Development Council (CDC) and eight other Institutes of Higher Learning (IHLs) to formalise a collaborative eco-system aimed at addressing community needs in the South West District. The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on 5 November at NUS, marking the launch of the South West Community Inno Lab. Mr Desmond Lee, Minister for National Development, Minister-in-Charge of Social Services Integration and Adviser to West Coast GRC Grassroots Organisations (GROs), witnessed the signing alongside Ms Low Yen Ling, Senior Minister of State, Ministry of Trade and Industry & Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, and Mayor of South West District. For the first time, students from different institutions will form inter-IHL teams to work on community-centric projects, partnering with grassroots organisations, social services, and local agencies on themes like Health, Social Support, Sustainability, and Mental Wellness. With mentorship, structured brainstorming, and funding support, students will gain hands-on experience developing solutions that truly impact residents' lives, honing essential skills while fostering a more inclusive community. We’re excited to see how this collaboration will shape the future and nurture the next generation of changemakers! 🌟

It was our great pleasure to have hosted Minister for Education Mr Chan Chun Sing and Senior Parliamentary Secretary Mr Shawn Huang at UAS earlier this week! Both Minister and SPS visited UAS' arts institutions LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, meeting students and faculty, viewing student showcases and exhibitions and catching performances.

🥳 Exciting news! We're thrilled to announce a new partnership with the Arts House Limited (AHL), paving the way for students from LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts to gain hands-on experience in the arts industry. Starting Jan 2025, students can apply for internships and project work at AHL's venues, festivals and programmes! This three-year partnership will offer 12 internships or project work attachments annually, preparing our students for impactful careers in the local arts scene 🌟 Applications will open with the launch of UAS' new career and internship portal, also in Jan 2025. A huge thanks too to the generous support of donors including Dr Della Suantio Lee, Ms Suzanne Liau and Mr Pierre Lorinet for making this possible. Our Vice-Chancellor Prof Kwok Kian Woon shared "This collaboration will not only enhance our students' education but also equip them to excel in the ever-evolving creative industries. We look forward to seeing how our students will grow through this experience and the meaningful contributions they will make to their own development and to the wider arts community here in Singapore." P.S. Spot Sharafah Malihah, emcee for the event who is currently studying in the BA (Hons) Arts Management programme at LASALLE College of the Arts. We’re especially excited for what this partnership will bring for students like her 😎

Inspiration can come from anywhere, but it often sparks through creative exchanges with peers and faculty. 😉 Recently, selected students and faculty had the chance to connect with four Red-Dot Design Award-winning student representatives from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design Budapest (MOME). In collaboration with UAS' arts institutions LASALLE College of the Arts and Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts, students from MOME, LASALLE and NAFA shared key projects and explored new ideas, bridging cultures through product design. Our Vice-Chancellor Prof Kwok Kian Woon, joined in too! Big thanks to our MOME friends for the enriching exchange - what a fantastic experience! 🌟

Here’s to new beginnings 🎓🌟 It was Convocation at our arts institution Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts today. Our Vice-Chancellor, Prof Kwok Kian Woon, gowned up to present the NAC-UAS Scholarship to Zhuang Chuhang, a BA (Hons) Contemporary Chinese Theatres student at NAFA.
