The APB Foundation envisages a fun and vibrant arts scene in Singapore. Moving together with the local arts community that
has blossomed over the years, the Foundation holds the hope that Singapore will soon join the ranks of nations where
diverse local arts groups enjoy strong followings from all sectors of society.
Doing its bit to aid in nurturing arts in Singapore, the APB Foundation launched the APB Foundation Inspire Programme to fund plans drawn up by adopted arts organisations and/or artists that would bring their works to the next level. It also embraces efforts that enable them to advance towards their goals though training and enhance their capabilities thereby improving their sustainability.
To promote contemporary art in Singapore and the region, the APB Foundation has partnered the Singapore Art Museum to introduce the APB Foundation Signature Art Prize. This highest juried Art Prize in the region, aims at recognising outstanding contemporary artworks and is organised once every three years, over a period of 15 years.
In addition, the APB Foundation supports causes that grow audiences and
develop local artistic work. Some of causes that the APB Foundation has funded include:
- Singapore International Film Festival 2005
