Immersion in the Arts in the privacy of a homely abode

Singapore today is a bustling metropolis which attracts a multitude of foreign visitors each year. The city has a unique cosmopolitan culture as a result of the many different ethnic groups who have made their home in the metropolis. The diverse influences and varied lifestyles have been combined and moulded to create an environment found nowhere else in the world.

The Arts House is an eclectic venue dedicated to art, lifestyle and heritage. This fusion brings together both artists and those involved in art organisations interconnecting the varied multi-disciplinary art forms displayed into one single location. Opened in 2004, the centre has even been brought under the Singaporean Government gazette.

Located today in what was formerly known as the old Parliament House, the rich heritage of this building has been preserved. The structure typifies the concept of a house, hence the name Arts House. Thus in keeping with the theme of a house, each room is designated towards a particular artistic theme. From a Play Den to a conventional Living Room, each area features its own unique attractions.

Today what is used as the gallery area was in the past known as the Assembly Library. Similarly the House’s Boardroom of today was yesteryear’s council room. By preserving the designs and the architectural structures of the great abode the charming nature of the interiors remain well preserved. Additionally for visitors to the Arts House a choice of food outlets is also available.

The Arts House also plays an important function in unearthing hidden talent among the youth. Through auditions and interviews, suitable talented nominees are selected and promoted through a fund. Art and theatre lovers can also seek membership in the Arts House ensuring continued interaction.
