About Art Outreach
Setup of IMMEMORIAL, 2022 by Rizman Putra during Singapore Art Week 2022.
Established in 2003, Art Outreach is a non-profit arts intermediary with IPC status that is dedicated to promoting art appreciation in Singapore and strengthening networks in the local art ecosystem.
We enable practitioners to sustain careers in the arts by offering financial support, professional development opportunities, and an independent and free space to nurture and incubate their work, as well as through facilitating dialogues with collectors and industry leaders.
We also champion the value of art by presenting a year-round roster of accessible and innovative programmes catered to diverse audiences—encompassing educational talks for schools, public art tours, exhibitions and artist residencies—with the aim of encouraging a deeper understanding and appreciation of art and artists in the community.
Art Outreach is supported by the National Arts Council under the Major Company Scheme for the period from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2025 and has been a recipient since 2013.
