The National Arts Council (NAC) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) have embarked on a three-year partnership to bring Singapore’s arts and culture to the forefront of the global stage through Changi Airport. Announced on 27 April 2026, this collaboration will feature curated art displays, live performances, and activations within the airport’s terminals, offering both local and international passengers a taste of Singapore’s artistic excellence.
The initiative was launched at Changi Airport Terminal 4, with Senior Minister of State for Culture, Community and Youth, Low Yen Ling, attending as Guest-of-Honour. The event included live poetry and music performances by local artists, celebrating the new partnership.
Over the next three years, Changi Airport will host a variety of multidisciplinary arts initiatives, including Singapore Literature (SingLit) poetry and live music performances, extending the reach of NAC’s I Play SG Music initiative. During major arts festivals, the airport will also serve as a platform for visual artists, enhancing the international visibility of Singapore’s creative talents.
“NAC’s partnership with CAG turns one of the world’s busiest hubs into a creative stage for Singapore artists, providing them with access to global travellers,” said Elaine Ng, CEO of NAC. Yam Kum Weng, CEO of CAG, added, “Changi Airport offers an opportunity to reflect Singapore’s cultural vibrance through the creative works of our homegrown artists as part of the passenger experience.”
This collaboration aligns with NAC’s broader strategy, guided by Our SG Arts Plan (2023–2027), to integrate the arts into public spaces beyond traditional venues, further establishing Singapore as a distinctive city for the arts.
