Calling for submissions for Singapore Art Exhibition 2009
The National Arts Council (NAC) and Singapore Art Museum (SAM) are pleased to invite visual arts submissions from Singapore and Singapore-based artists for the Singapore Art Exhibition 2009, co-presented by both organisations.
The Singapore Art Exhibition 2009 is the main feature of the Singapore Art Show (SAS), organised by the National Arts Council. The SAS is a national platform celebrating distinctive and outstanding art created by local and Singapore-based artists. This biennial festival showcases the diversity of visual arts practices in Singapore, presents new artistic contents and further develops the capabilities of artists and curators. It also aims to encourage public appreciation of and engagement in visual arts in Singapore.
The Singapore Art Exhibition 2009 offers artists from all disciplines a national platform to participate via an open call for submissions.
The best submission will be awarded the Singapore Art Exhibition Prize - a $50,000 grant which can be used for professional or capability development through residencies, further studies or training, and for the creation and/or presentation of bold, new projects and works.
“The Voters’ Prize”, comprising $5,000 cash, will be awarded to the participating artist whose artwork gets the most number of nominations from visitors to the exhibition.
The theme of this year’s Singapore Art Exhibition is ART BUFFET SINGAPORE! The ‘buffet’ concept was adopted as a mode of display and cultural consumption. Artists are empowered to select from a buffet spread of twelve themes to respond to. The buffet concept also offers a visual feast for audiences to attune themselves to the creative production of Singapore artists. Suggested themes include Food, Material, Ritual, Spectrum, Signs, Gesture, Craft, Body, Time, Space, Order and Humour.
