SINGAPORE STREET FESTIVAL 2003

The Singapore Street festival is not simply a showcase for exemplary programs, but rather Singapore Street Festival was created and developed to be a meeting point for a confluence of different cultures, ideas and perspectives. An opportunity for performing talents and audiences to engage more deeply in the processes of any particular art form

Plans for Singapore Street Festival 2003, hope to see bigger and
wider use of spaces to be proposed. Looking to include some
programs and activities that are not featured in Singapore Street
Festival 2002.

At the same time, there will be programs and activities to encourage youth and young adults to create and innovate in their inventive works. For example: features in areas of multi-media arts and innovation, or even venturing into entrepreneurial activities under guidance and supervision from the experts.

Singapore Street Festival is targeted to the youth and young adults of Singapore regardless of race and religion. Not restricting, but also to welcome supporting members – family and friends, general audiences of the public, and even our tourists are welcome to join in the excitement and fun.
