About Art Outreach
Background
Art tells people who we are, where we come from, and represents what’s important to us. It is a visual language that cuts across cultures and languages. Art offers critical insights to inequity and social injustices, and gives voice to change-makers. Art celebrates the human spirit, promotes imagination, spurs innovation, offers comfort and promotes understanding.
Art Outreach is an education non-profit organisation that uses art to expose students and extend their access to the humanities beyond local curriculum. We offer engaging public programs to promote greater art appreciation in Singapore and run an awards program that supports emerging artists and curators.
We were incorporated as an educational non-profit organization in 2003. The organization received charity status in October 2004, and was granted Institute of Public Character (IPC) status under the National Arts Councilʼs “Support for the Arts” Central Fund in February 2004.
Our Mission
Our mission is to increase visual art literacy and to promote art appreciation in Singapore by offering an art education programme for primary and secondary school students, art events and presentations in the community, art tours for the public, as well as developing a body of well-trained and committed volunteers to serve as art advocates, providing a vital resource in the community. This is best encapsulated in our motto: “Art Education for the Community by the Community”.
