For Art’s Sake

A national research centre of the Nanyang Technological University (NTU), the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore (NTU CCA Singapore), which is supported by the Economic Development Board (EDB), has played a vital role in building the region’s vibrant arts scene since its inauguration in 2013. Known for its enriching exhibitions, residencies as well as research-led programmes, the centre has given many artists a platform to push artistic boundaries, challenge the creative status quo and explore issues in the Southeast Asian contemporary art scene.

But come March next year, NTU CCA Singapore’s exhibition space and residency studios in Gillman Barracks will close, when funding from EDB ceases. However, its a compilation of research papers on the global climate crisis, both of which require additional funding.
