Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 6: Eileen Chong on sustainability of the arts
Introduce micro grants for small-scale community arts projects; they should come with simplified administration criteria and should not be pegged to a percentage of the overall budget. Make the arts more affordable and accessible for youths, with sustained, expanded and subsidised access. NCMP Eileen Chong, who made these suggestions in parliament on Thursday (Mar 5), stressed the need to treat access to the arts with the same seriousness as for education and enrichment.
