This
report has two aims: |
|
a. To
establish Singapore as a global arts city. We want to
position Singapore as a key city in the Asian renaissance
of the 21st century and a cultural centre in the glbalised
world. The idea is to be one of the top cities in the
world to live, work and play in, where there is an
environment conducive to creative and knowledge-based
industries and talent. |
|
b. To provide
cultural ballast in our nation-building efforts. In order
to strengthen Singaporeans' sense of national identity and
belonging. We need to inculcate an appreciation of our
heritage and strengthen the SIngapore Heartbeat through
the creation and sharing of Singapore stories, be it film,
theatre, dance, music, literature or the visual arts. |
