Yesterday (5 Sep), Minister Edwin Tong launched the National Arts Council’s (NAC) Our SG Arts Plan (2023 to 2027) - a new five-year policy road map for the arts scene. Partnership is key to the new plan, which the NAC envisions as a call to artists, audiences and patrons to help build an arts scene that they want to see.
💬 *What are your views on the Our SG Arts Plan? How else can we tap on the arts to foster creativity, inculcate a sense of belonging, and distinguish Singapore globally?*
The three thrusts of the Our SG Arts Plan are:
1️⃣ *A Connected City* - _Where our national identity is anchored by our shared arts and culture_
This includes embedding arts experiences in life, providing arts touchpoints for audiences, and fostering an appreciation for the social impact of art.
2️⃣ *A Distinctive City* - _Where spaces are invigorated by the arts_
This includes integrating the arts into the spaces people live, work and play, and working with partners to create innovative and unique art spaces.
3️⃣ *A Creative Economy* - _Where our arts sector is powered by artistic talent and excellence_
This includes forging new ways of doing business, growing artistic excellence and expanding internationalisation opportunities

Wonder what is the economic returns from the art industry in Singapore 🤔?
06/09/2023, 10:27 am - +Smiley face: "Too much or too little, growing too fast or growing too slow, too early or too late; each of these variables will have profound consequences from stunting growth or nurturing growth. How to succeed, is it art or science or technology!"

06/09/2023, 10:35 am - +~L: Can't quantify it. It's not about direct economic return, like many things in life. It does however bring tourism, upskill creative talent, motivate people, stimulate thinking and broaden people's horizons. Art and Creativity help stop Singapore becoming a stale boring place no one wants to live. So maybe in some way without Art in Singapore, then country will slowly wither and die.
06/09/2023, 10:36 am - +Frankie Wee: I think Singapore tourism board (STB) likely bring more people investment here because of clean and safe places
06/09/2023, 10:36 am - +~L: Good to see it's growing fast!
06/09/2023, 10:37 am - ☸️ Danny 心:
Wonder if arts include:-
1. Theatre
2. Musical, concert (include singers, symphony etc)
3. Media like drama, movie (whereby artiste, actors and actresses included)
4. Art like painting, calligraphy etc
5. Poetry
6. Antiques
Wonder what else encompasses arts?
If all these are included, then our art industry is quite sizeable. <This message was edited>
06/09/2023, 10:37 am - +Frankie Wee: Outside country are troublihg with Russia between NATO and China deep economy failed
06/09/2023, 10:38 am - +Rama: Graffiti art should be encouraged and not criminalise
06/09/2023, 10:40 am - ☸️ Danny 心:
My place coffee shop encourage graffiti art - whereby a quite rundown artist put up a sign to say he is a graffiti artist when he paints the pathway to the coffeeshop - not a graffiti sabotage.
When he completed his graffiti art - it is very nice and lively.
06/09/2023, 10:46 am - ☸️ Danny 心:
7. Also noticed technologies can help to augment the art scene eg.
a. Drone swarm display
b. Metaverse virtual reality
c. AI robots humanoid - dance and singer

06/09/2023, 10:51 am - ☸️ Danny 心:
Only one thing that comes to my mind ---
1. How are these arts scenes funded?
2. Are they sustainable on their own - that means, are there audience or consumers willing to dig into their pockets to pay to view the arts or buy them for keeping? <This message was edited>
06/09/2023, 10:51 am - +~L: Paris is the most visited City in the World, and also a Hub for Creative Arts... it's not particularly safe or clean.
06/09/2023, 10:52 am - ☸️ Danny 心:
I think people are willing to join long queue to see Taylor swift or K-pop and pay hefty price ticket to watch their performance.
But not so sure about the concert, painting etc. <This message was edited>
06/09/2023, 10:56 am - ☸️ Danny 心:
Also noticed there are busking around our neighborhood.
I notice uncle and aunty doing busking.
But I also noticed younger men and some ladies doing busking for a living eg. Shrung their guitar or musical instruments - whereby some people will drop some notes into their donation box. <This message was edited>

...many impossibles in the past perhaps it's becoming more possible for those with passion to create arts but lacking the fine hands to do so will delve on AI to transform their imaginations into many digitally finished pieces of art. Yes, it can be the next masterpiece by "Me-AI" !...

06/09/2023, 12:08 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Apologies. Apologies. Apologies. No accountability. No fast actions. To isolate. Maybe more complex issues
06/09/2023, 12:09 pm - +Jimmy Chew: We're know for forward and strategic planning and thinking. The civil servants or the man in charge has failed the sector. Haha hope not scholar and potential candidate
06/09/2023, 12:11 pm - +Rama: Top management and those directly complacent in compliance should have the decency to step down and dissappear iso of a bullshit acknowledgement of failed responsibility!
06/09/2023, 12:11 pm - +Rama: Ownself check ownself style and cover up before moving on!
06/09/2023, 12:16 pm - +Rama: Side step the issue and move on!

06/09/2023, 1:00 pm - +Rama: Blady disgusting!
06/09/2023, 1:24 pm - +Smiley face: ...onto the bigger footprint of a regional and the pinnacle of international collaborations with the global top arts universities, too cities and well known museums and award recognitions. All of these public and global exposures will elevate social awareness of the artists' works with appraised values and adopting the finished pieces of art into the homes, offices or 'Museum for the New Artists' (MNA)...
06/09/2023, 1:24 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
I admire the courage of ecda for acknowledging the lapse - announce it in a transparent manner - and offer to improve and do better.
This is a hallmark of "Ownself check Ownself" - to always improve, do better and never flinch from admitting mistake. <This message was edited>
06/09/2023, 1:25 pm - +Rama: Nonsense!
06/09/2023, 1:27 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Rather than the Aljunied GRC town council - that mismanaged $33 million of town council fund - until the authority catch up with them and charge them in court.
06/09/2023, 1:35 pm - +~L: "There’s also a parental advisory sign placed at the entrance, so maybe don’t bring your kids along for this one" - you don't have to go....
06/09/2023, 1:36 pm - +Rama: Not good enough a comparison!
06/09/2023, 1:37 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Yah, Aljunied GRC town council - too big a hole to fill at the expense of the residents.
06/09/2023, 1:39 pm - +~L: Not quite as bad as a city in the UK: https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/05/economy/birmingham-council-bankrupt-uk-gbr-intl/index.html

Integrity, honesty, objectivity and impartiality.
And aspire to improve for the lapse.

06/09/2023, 1:41 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:

06/09/2023, 1:49 pm - +Frankie Wee: Bankruptcy those people stay to repay debt to council govt.
06/09/2023, 1:54 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Governing Town council not so detrimental as compared to policing children education and welfare.
06/09/2023, 1:56 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Is the principal fault or just the ecda fault?
06/09/2023, 1:56 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Both?
06/09/2023, 1:57 pm - +Jimmy Chew: No policy to govern violations and not working faster to rectify or not enforcing what's good for the children
06/09/2023, 1:57 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
If a theft is committed, is the thief fault or the police fault?
06/09/2023, 1:57 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Hope got inquiries into ecda performance
06/09/2023, 1:58 pm - +Jimmy Chew: If not many apologies coming 😂
06/09/2023, 1:58 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
If a person commit crime, is the person's fault or his parents' fault

If teacher abuse child. Teacher fault.
If principal who look after the school knows the teachers abusing the children and did not take action, principal fault.
If authority discover the abuse take place and didn't investigate, then authority fault.
But did the authority not take action?
Yes it did take action, except one officer didn't remove that teacher.
The CEO of the authority apologies for the lapse immediately, announce the lapse without hiding and resolve to improve.
So why the big hoo ha?

06/09/2023, 2:16 pm - +Rama: Lapse of judgment and protocol contribution to current situation!
06/09/2023, 2:17 pm - +Rama: Bashing justified!
06/09/2023, 2:31 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Just now I was in the polyclinic doing annual checkup.
Then we notice a commotion, one elderly couple making unreasonable demand on a doctor.
The doctor then tell the nurse to refer them to other doctors as the couple were shouting at the doctor.
The couple emerge from the doctor room and keep ranting all the bad things about the doctor as though they have been unreasonably treated.
These couple hold back everyone and make the whole environment very toxic.
Finally when my turn come, the doctor apologise to us for the longer wait due to unforeseen circumstances as well as the big crowd.
I told the doctor that the couple is doing unreasonable bashing of public servants and held up everybody.
I witnessed this more than once in various places. <This message was edited>
06/09/2023, 2:34 pm - +Rama: Why protocol for this not followed by Polyclinic management and call in police!?
06/09/2023, 2:35 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Cisco guard was called in.
But the situation manage to quiet down.
Before the Cisco guard do anything.
06/09/2023, 2:35 pm - +Rama: Nonetheless, the guard is unarmed so no enforcement action!
06/09/2023, 2:36 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Hence the moment I see unreasonable bashing of public servants - I will reason out if people are always right in their demands.
06/09/2023, 2:39 pm - +Rama: The couple must be charged and prosecuted!
06/09/2023, 2:40 pm - ☸️ Danny 心:
Well they didn't turn violent or bash up the doctor.
They say they want to complain to moh.

I can tell you - I witnessed these a couple of times in various public places.
One case lagi best.
A woman patient ask for directions in a hospital.
The reception tell her the way how to go.
Instead of thanking the reception, she turn around and scold her why she raise her voice and she say I won't hesitate to complain you.
The reception was totally stunned, so was I.
So you see, what has some Singaporeans turn into?
06/09/2023, 2:45 pm - +Rama: 😳😞🤦♂️
06/09/2023, 2:50 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Effects of COVID isolation affecting the world hahaha
06/09/2023, 2:53 pm - +~L: The football supporter got arrested after shouting when his team lost.... surely shouting at Drs and Receptionist in a Medical Centre is worse... Equally I don't think we should all overreact. People are people and behave oddly at times. As long as no physical violence or danger or damage, then maybe we be more tolerant to each other.
06/09/2023, 2:53 pm - +Rama: Possibly
06/09/2023, 2:54 pm - +Rama: Pick and choose is that it!?
06/09/2023, 3:14 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Need general courtesy. Maybe we should have a courtesy campaign
06/09/2023, 3:14 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Some people don't know common courtesy
06/09/2023, 3:14 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Private voice versus public voice

06/09/2023, 3:16 pm - +Jimmy Chew: Today child speak so loud on bus. I think mother don't know to tell kid to have public voice, which is to be soft not to disturb others in the bus

06/09/2023, 3:52 pm - +~L: Would be good if LTA can make using a mobile phone on speaker an offense. I'm not the only one who finds it very offensive (and annoying) to have to listen to people's video calls, their youtube videos etc)
06/09/2023, 3:55 pm - +Coconut Tree: We can learn from the Japanese
06/09/2023, 3:55 pm - +~L: A very respectful society indeed. I think it's true that mostly people in Singapore with their phones on speaker are not from Singapore....

reading the article:
"The exhibition is free and runs from now until 22 October 2023, so if you’re looking to get some fun and action this weekend, make sure to come down to the Wood Morning Singapore exhibition and get plenty of shots."
what kind of "fun and action" can one get from attending such an exhibition?
Answering the question if this space is accessible to young children, "There’s also a parental advisory sign placed at the entrance, so maybe don’t bring your kids along for this one — that’s a dick move and we don’t need this to come up in therapy when they’re older, you know? "

Actually all this figurines - Pinocchio are for children.
The story about Pinocchio is - their nose will elongate if the children tell lies.
But now the attention is focus not on the nose but something not for children.
I don't really know how to appreciate such arts - which seems to crack dirty jokes not by speech but by visual arts.
If this display is not meant for adults - which I don't find it funny - is it targeting children - as this is a children's fable?
Then if this display is "adult content" - as adults I won't visit the display because it doesn't seem funny.
If it is meant to target children by invoking curiosity of the children - then it is R rated - because children will ask why the nose is not elongated but something else.
Then how should the adults explain to the kids - especially as a responsible adult will want to impart the right values to the children?
Else want to be cheekopek uncle teaching children how to be cheekopek - and then blog it in the social media - and say, this is light-hearted, this is fun? <This message was edited>

Allowing roving arts displays/performance/interactive installations can also serve to be educational.
Leveraging on existing spaces like community centers/libraries/schools (like the weekends sports spaces usage) can also ease infrastructure crunch.
This could lead to a 'heat map' of arts spaces in SG. Increasing visibility of arts to all. Having this overall visual imagery on catch.sg may also help.
Hosting bigger scale cultural arts performance to create hype (like how sports was done for soccer games/tennis/PTO) will bring in more revenue and eyeballs.
06/09/2023, 5:26 pm - +Valli: The arts scene has improved vastly compared to 20 years ago. We can continue to improve on citizens understanding/awareness of arts culture.
The mrt stations recognising local musicians is a good start. Displaying the work of local artists on the walls of mrt stations is good.
More can be done across the various mrt stations. Building in the history of SG (within the mrt locale) also serves as an educational + visual benefit
06/09/2023, 5:27 pm - +Valli: Perhaps the same can be done at selected bus stops. Current bus stop stands are either empty/on paid advert/have flyers that are not meant to be there.
If the bus stands billboards can be utilised to highlight arts (in an integrated way with the arts plan). It may be useful
06/09/2023, 5:42 pm - +Jimmy Chew: I think this is not for children
06/09/2023, 5:43 pm - +Jimmy Chew: It is more for adults and appreciation of art .

06/09/2023, 6:00 pm - +REACH: 📢 *Topic* 📢
Yesterday (5 Sep), Minister Edwin Tong launched the National Arts Council’s (NAC) Our SG Arts Plan (2023 to 2027) - a new five-year policy road map for the arts scene. Partnership is key to the new plan, which the NAC envisions as a call to artists, audiences and patrons to help build an arts scene that they want to see.
💬 *What are your views on the Our SG Arts Plan? How else can we tap on the arts to foster creativity, inculcate a sense of belonging, and distinguish Singapore globally?*
The three thrusts of the Our SG Arts Plan are:
1️⃣ *A Connected City* - _Where our national identity is anchored by our shared arts and culture_
This includes embedding arts experiences in life, providing arts touchpoints for audiences, and fostering an appreciation for the social impact of art.
2️⃣ *A Distinctive City* - _Where spaces are invigorated by the arts_
This includes integrating the arts into the spaces people live, work and play, and working with partners to create innovative and unique art spaces.
3️⃣ *A Creative Economy* - _Where our arts sector is powered by artistic talent and excellence_
This includes forging new ways of doing business, growing artistic excellence and expanding internationalisation opportunities

Sounds like dirty jokes disguise as art.
I appreciate abstract arts that serve to stimulate wisdom rather than lust.

06/09/2023, 6:14 pm - +~L: Art is for everyone, and everyone's different taste. What is right for one is often not right for another. That is what makes the world a rich and diverse place.
06/09/2023, 6:16 pm - +~L: The juxtaposition of cartoon characters made of wood and the obvious sexual reference is humorous to some and not others. Either way it is provocative and that is stimulating too. It's harmless and yes challenges our perceptions of what is acceptable and what is not.
06/09/2023, 6:16 pm - +Poh S Lim: By that token, ancient Greeks, Romans and up till the Renaissance period were all DOMs 🤣
06/09/2023, 6:16 pm - +~L: Incidentally, this exhibition is not abstract art. it's quite explicit.
06/09/2023, 6:17 pm - +~L: Most probably!
06/09/2023, 6:38 pm - +Anne: Dear G,
What attracts people to an artwork?
- beauty
- the story behind the art
Some benefits of art:
- stimulates creativity
- evokes positive feelings
- develops sensitivity
What inspires the artist to create that artwork?What experience did he go through to create that artwork? What was the story behind the art? What was the intent and the message behind the art?
If the message is unacceptable, eg it encourages or normalises violence, criminal behaviour, LGBT and sexual grooming of children, then such art should be censored. These types of art can program our subconscious minds to have bad thinking and emotions, which leads to bad behaviour.
Hence, we should state upfront to both artists and event organizers the types of art that will not be permitted, and also do thorough screening and inspection to ensure that the event organizers and artists keep to the rules and remove all offending artworks if any are being displayed.

"The Arts of Success" 《成功的艺术》
"Too much or too little, growing too fast or growing too slow, too early or too late; each of these variables will have profound consequences from stunting growth or nurturing growth. How to succeed, is it art or science or technology!"
- - anonymity
"Art is an economic and Art can be a livelihood!"
Too much?
In today's hustling and bustling urban lifestyles, folks are engrossed on tangibles and the paths of success. More often many ordinary people do not appreciate the fine arts or handicrafts or expressive arts like music, dance, digital arts and photography till there is a pricetag on it; all eyes will sparkle and zoom in pursue of these prized pieces of arts or handicrafts!
Too little?
Starting from birth, children were taught the basics of sketching and painting on crayons, brush or fingers paintings, all for the interactive fun and to foster a sense of creativity. That's it, more than 99% of these children will eventually not becoming artists or artistically inclined in pursuing a lifelong career as artists of all spectrum from the fine arts to the performing arts or expressive arts. However in the digitised age, the digitally enhanced and expressive artworks will thrive and more and more visible in the art world the next decade; many impossibles in the past perhaps it's becoming more possible for those with passion to create arts but lacking the fine hands to do so will delve on AI to transform their imaginations into many digitally finished pieces of art. Yes, it can be the next masterpiece by "Me-AI" ! How to create new methods or medium of expressions that are totally different from the conventional motifs of the impressionistic to the realistics, oil painting to the water color painting, modern dance to metaverse dance?
The traditional institution of the Arts must evolve to stay alive simply to adapt to the changing demographics and the mindsets of the young people and not the same old ways. The intuition of teaching Arts and imaginations whether is express or performing has to have elements of innovation and creativity to scale up many original pieces of uniqueness and many "one of a kind" arts!
"Using your hands, heart and mind to create an unique, an expression, and an original piece of art (likewise for performing arts); affordable art incubating space for rent?"
- - anonymity
Too early or Too later?
Its about creativity and the innate power to create; only a handful of people have the patience and talent to draw, to fail and to redraw, to imagine and reimagine the motif, and to complete the extraordinary art pieces.
It's not about timing of early nor later; you just cannot quantify and force out a masterpiece. The least of all is to start earlier in life or later on in one's life a new calling to the finer things in life; that's living with Arts!
"Leonardo da Vinci was commissioned to paint 'The Last Supper'..."

Growing or Degrowing?
How a conducive ecosystem will elevate free expression, originality and intuition for all the aspiring Artists?
Are there available public and/or private grants or opportunities for employment or more affordable art incubators for rent or commissioning art projects or art fair or exhibitions to raise our new generation artists and our established artists profiles at the community level and the national level and onto the bigger footprint of a regional and the pinnacle of international collaborations with the global top arts universities, tie up with top global cities and well known museums and award recognitions. All of these public and global exposures will elevate social awareness and acceptance of the artists' works with appraised values and adopting the finished pieces of art into the homes, offices or displayed in the "SG@Arts Museum for the New World Artists".
Hopefully, over time, this ecosystem will build-on the momentum thus more vibrancy and generating sustainable and successful lifetime career for our local artists.
