Art under one roof: What would Singapore's first public arts university look like

But what would such a university look like, and what kind of courses would it offer? The Straits Times speaks to Singaporean artists and arts educators to put together a wish list of what they would like to see when the university opens in 2025.The new university must attract academic and artistic talent from overseas as well as keep Singaporean talent here.

Former NMP for the arts Terence Ho, 53, added:"It should be open to the best academic and artistic talent in the world and find a way to attract them to Singapore so that it can be a regional or even world leader in the arts and arts education."The school must make space for Singapore's artistic heritage as a place where the arts from the East and the West have mixed, as well as for indigenous and regional art forms. It should include fringe and experimental art.

The combined college must become a hub for the arts community, as well as the students and alumni to showcase their work and to connect, and be an icon for Singapore. "The artist, curator, arts manager, accounts manager, engineer, technician, collector, critic, etc., are all important to the ecosystem in the arts university."

Larger studios and more skill-based learning as well as cross-disciplinary learning are what Lasalle graduate Diva Agar hopes to see.
