CFA comprises the NUS Museum and NUS Baba House; the University Cultural Centre, a world class performing arts centre; and 22 student arts excellence groups in music, dance, theatre and film. On campus and beyond, we take pride in providing opportunities for the appreciation of the arts and seek to champion creative possibilities and inspire strong communities through programming, exhibitions, workshops and outreach such as the university’s flagship arts event, the NUS Arts Festival and Singapore’s longest running arts outreach programme, the ExxonMobil Campus Concerts.
We are committed to fostering an active arts community and providing a fertile ground for collaborative learning and knowledge building. From a broad array of performing arts disciplines and genres, to internships and docent opportunities, we offer opportunities to explore university-wide collaborations across disciplines and provide a multitude of ways to get involved and have meaningful encounters with the arts.
