Resorts World Sentosa commits S$200,000 to newly launched Sustainability Arts Fund
[SINGAPORE] Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) and National Arts Council (NAC) launched the Sustainability Arts Fund on Monday (Jun 16), with RWS committing S$200,000. The fund will support local arts organisations in creating immersive art forms and experiences at Singapore Oceanarium to advocate for marine conservation. RWS and NAC will reach out to local arts groups via open calls for proposals and work with them to develop visual installations, performances and other creative expressions. Lee Shi Ruh, chief executive of RWS, said: 'Through the Singapore Oceanarium by RWS Sustainability Arts Fund, we are creating a dynamic platform where artistic expression sparks deeper understanding of our oceans, cultivating both an appreciation for marine biodiversity and the creative arts.' This fund comes under NAC's Sustain the Arts Fund, which aims to enhance the sustainability of small arts organisations while fostering a culture of giving to support the arts. Following an open call in 2024, two local arts groups have been selected. The first is Mural Lingo, a mural art studio established in 2014. It has developed Between Wonder and Waste, a mural experience combining traditional paint work, sculptural installations and motion-sensor technology that reacts to guests when they draw nearer. A NEWSLETTER FOR YOU Friday, 2 pm Lifestyle Our picks of the latest dining, travel and leisure options to treat yourself. Sign Up Sign Up The artwork showcases the interconnectedness of human activity and marine biodiversity. It features a 22-m-long wall art mural that artistically incorporates debris collected from beach cleanups. Sharon Soh, creative director of Mural Lingo, said: 'It is an invitation for visitors to pause and reflect on their impact on the ocean through a thought-provoking mural – where the artwork transitions from an idyllic and thriving ocean to a stark and dystopian interpretation of reality adversely impacted by ocean waste.' The second art group is TRDOco, a contemporary dance company that will present Guardians of the Sea. This is a three-part immersive dance performance exploring the cause, effect and solution of marine conservation challenges. RWS will continue to select more arts groups in the coming months. Between Wonder and Waste will be on display from Jul 23 – the day Singapore Oceanarium, previously known as SEA Aquarium, officially opens to the public – while Guardians of the Sea's performances will start on Jul 31. Both can be experienced at the Open Ocean zone in Singapore Oceanarium.
