Two things will go a long way towards helping Singapore fulfil its plans to build a thriving arts and heritage sector. First, ensuring there is adequate infrastructure or art spaces to support practitioners in a diverse range of disciplines. Second, investing in the sector’s capabilities to drive the creative economy.
