Under Arts Plan 2.0, NAC’s blueprint for the arts sector from 2023-2027, a key strategic thrusts is to develop Singapore into a Distinctive City for the arts. Our vision is to create vibrant spaces inspired by and for the arts., encompassing:

•A cultural city that embraces and showcases our unique and shared identities through the arts, engendering a sense of belonging.
•An Iconic city where places, structures and streetscapes are transformed, reimagined and rejuvenated through creativity and innovation.
•An Inspiring city and endearing home for everyone, where public and private spaces are animated through arts and culture.

To support the development of arts in Singapore, there is a need to balance the demand for arts spaces for creation and presentation with the supply of such spaces. Traditionally, NAC has provided subsidised rental spaces for artists and arts groups to create works. Increasingly, NAC now need to look beyond our stock of arts housing spaces and unlock more opportunities by:

•Collaborating with public and private space owners to facilitate arts access catering to diverse needs
•Reviewing our policy levers and tools
•Brokering partnerships to open up more spaces for the arts

Furthermore, NAC must work closely with land planning agencies such as URA and SLA to integrate the arts into their masterplans, thereby realising our vision of vibrant, arts-inspired spaces.

Your role will be to lead the team responsible for growing and diversifying infrastructure support by unlocking suitable spaces for arts use from both public and private building resource owners, as well as strategically engaging key stakeholders to incorporate the arts into public masterplans developed by URA and SLA.

  • Develop policies and SOPs to ensure good practices are consistently upheld and further improved upon whenever necessary, such as from audit exercise

  • Work with NAC’s venue manager for the appointed arts centres to oversee agreed deliverables specific to the centre’s tenancy and leases management

  • Identify and build strategic partnerships with government and private stakeholders to unlock and secure diversified space opportunities for the arts sector and create more support pathways; develop and recommend policy incentives and toolkits to diversify infrastructure support

Facilities Management

  • Lead the team to ensure that venue cyclical, repair, maintenance programmes of NAC’s inventory of arts spaces are undertaken satisfactorily, including maintaining oversight of the managing agent, venue managers or arts tenants to implement the required and agreed work

  • Oversee that the necessary procurement complies with the Government Instruction Manual
