Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 7: Darryl David on support for artists
While the government has invested in the arts scene, there might be a perception that the arts are not as valued as other industries, said MP Darryl David. There are limited performance spaces and difficulties in making a decent living from the arts alone, and perhaps a greater need for audience engagement and appreciation for artistic talent, he said in parliament on Monday (Mar 10). He asked if the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth could share its plans to strengthen and support artists to realise their full potential.
