SINGAPORE - Donations to Singapore's arts and cultural scene went up for the first time in three years, with in-kind giving hitting an all-time high of $24.5 million.
At the event in Equarius Hotel in Sentosa, Ms Fu conferred awards on 383 patrons - 101 organisations and 282 individuals - one of the highest in the 36 years of the awards. She added that the NAC hopes to do more for nascent arts groups, helping them develop capabilities, governance frameworks and reach more donors.
Mr Yong said:"The initiative will enable arts organisations and professionals to hone their craft and flourish, ensuring our arts ecosystem gets the continuity it needs in the years to come." Among the six corporate donors was United Overseas Bank , which has received the award for 15 years in a row. Its programmes include UOB Heartbeat, which focuses on art, children and education, and UOB Painting of the Year, Singapore's longest-running art competition.
