OVERVIEW OVERVIEW

The aim of the Singapore Cultural Statistics 2011 is to provide an update on the Singapore’s arts and cultural sector through the analysis of Singapore’s cultural statistics over the past years. The arts and cultural sector reviewed in this publication include arts and cultural performances of various genres (e.g. Dance, Music, Theatre and Literary Arts), heritage activities like exhibitions in museums as well as usage of library resources.

1Statistics in the past publications of the Singapore Cultural Statistics were based on the Financial Year, starting from 1 Apr to 31 Mar. From 2009, statistics collected will be based on the Calendar Year, starting from 1 Jan to 31 Dec. All statistics in this report are based on the Calendar Year unless stated otherwise. Some statistics are however, only available based on the Financial Year and they will be indicated as such. Statistics published in the previous editions may be different due to this change or updated due to a recent revision in the data series.

SPECIAL FEATURE BY NATIONAL HERITAGE BOARD

The National Art Gallery, Singapore

Come 2015, Singaporeans and visitors will have a chance to visit the new National Art Gallery, Singapore at the former Supreme Court and City Hall buildings. At a total gross floor area of approximately 60,000 square metres, it will be the largest visual arts institution in Singapore, rivalling established museums such as Musee d’Orsay (France) and Tate Modern (UK) in size. This new institution will help position Singapore as an international hub for Southeast Asian visual arts, and contribute to our ambition of becoming a global city for the arts.

Reflecting Singapore’s unique heritage and geographical location, the Gallery will feature Southeast Asian art from our national collection – one of the largest of its kind in the world. The Gallery will also feature blockbusters and high profile artworks from Asia and the world. Establishing itself as a leading authority in Southeast Asia, it will add much buzz to the Civic District as a new icon for visual arts where Singaporeans and visitors alike can enjoy, learn and be engaged in art.

Occupying two important heritage buildings symbolic of Singapore’s nationhood, the Gallery will be a leading civic and cultural destination. These beloved monuments will be transformed into an art museum of international stature while maintaining a deep respect for their original architecture.

Construction officially began in January 2011 with an estimated 44 months of extensive preservation, remodelling and building works for the two 80 year old buildings. When ready, the Gallery will showcase permanent and temporary galleries displaying local, regional and international works of art, alongside specially-designed interactive and programming spaces.

Within its spaces, the Singapore Gallery will present an authoritative collection of Singapore art from the 19th Century and colonial period to present day. Visitors can look forward to a showcase of artworks by pioneer local artists such as Chen Chong Swee, Georgette Chen, Liu Kang, Chen Wen Hsi and Cheong Soo Pieng.

SPECIAL FEATURE BY NATIONAL ARTS COUNCIL

Drivers and Barriers for Youth Participation in the Arts


26

Background

The National Arts Council’s (NAC) mission is to “Nurture the Arts, and Make it a Part of the Lives of the People of Singapore”. In line with this, NAC works to develop, sustain and deepen the population’s engagement with the arts. Previous studies as well as anecdotal evidence have borne out that a large percentage of youths1, who participate2 in the arts at school, generally cease participating upon graduation. In the 2009 Population Survey of the Arts commissioned by the NAC, for instance, it was observed that only 22% of those between the ages of 20 to 29 participated in the arts. This was compared to a 42% participation rate for those in the typical school going age range of 15 to 19 years. To better understand the factors surrounding this trend, in November 2010, the NAC commissioned a qualitative research study to:

• Identify and assess perceived drivers and barriers towards continued arts participation amongnonschooling youths who were active arts participants in their earlier schooling days;

• Ascertain reasons for youths discontinuing participation in the arts (‘attrition’) following tertiaryeducation; and

• Testreceptiontonewideasandwaysthatcouldbeputinplacetoencouragecontinuedparticipationin the arts amongst this group.

Methodology

Approximately 80 young working adults who were active participants in the arts during their tertiary education were interviewed over the course of six months. There was fair representation amongst them of individuals who, at the time of interview, were actively participating in the arts (‘Continuers’) as well as those who had given up their involvement in the arts (‘Discontinuers’). In addition, the views of several arts instructors and mentors were sought for their insights into perceived key motivations and barriers for participation and progression of youths they work with in the arts. The research was conducted in two phases. In Phase I, respondents were asked to post online diary entries and were interviewed at their homes. The main objective at this stage was to understand the broad influences that led to these youths participating in the arts at school as well as environmental factors which encouraged /

discouraged continued active participation. Subsequently, in Phase II, focus group discussions were conducted to build upon the initial findings and obtain feedback to potential solutions that could be introduced.

profile of Continuers vis-à-vis Discontinuers

Interestingly, the majority of respondents could not be categorised strictly as either Continuers or Discontinuers. Instead, they tended to the middle of the continuum spanning non-involvement to active participation. Many of those defined as Discontinuers were still in touch with the arts at some basic level (i.e. as consumers of the arts) and open to re-engaging with the arts at a later stage. On the other hand, many of those classified as Continuers saw their participation and passion in the arts as diminishing and were considering disengaging at some point.

That said, there were some clear differences between the two groups in terms of attitudes and experience with the arts. While Continuers saw the arts as a hobby and derived strong enjoyment from participation, Discontinuers felt that participation in the arts had to be at a professional level.

28



Drivers and Barriers in arts participation amongst Youths

As anticipated, the study revealed that continued participation in the arts was affected by a mix of both intrinsic (e.g. the degree of inherent passion for the arts) and external factors (e.g. opportunities for social interaction and bonding, competing demands on available resources, familial and societal support for participation in the arts, the influence of mentors and the availability of mentorship opportunities and access to platforms for continued participation). These same set of factors could alternately encourage or deter continued participation in the arts. For instance, while work commitments were a common explanation given by respondents for dropping out of arts participation, those who still participated actively cited financial independence that enabled them to pursue the arts.

SINGAPORE CULTURAL

STATISTICS 2011

It was also observed that particular sets of factors exerted a stronger influence at certain stages of life. In their formative years, exposure to the arts at school (e.g. through arts co-curricular activities), and a supportive social milieu including (i) family members, (ii) role models such as seniors at schools, arts instructors for arts activities in which they participated outside of school and (iii) local community; were factors that played a decisive role in shaping individuals’ attitudes towards the arts. As individuals graduate and enter the work force, new commitments such as increased family responsibilities and greater independence had more of an impact on the level of arts participation. While there were many factors that appeared to contribute to levels of involvement amongst youths, certain factors were found to have played a deciding role as youths move on after graduating from tertiary education. These factors are examined in greater depth, in the following section.

Challenges in addressing the Key Factors of Continued arts participation

Key Factor (1): Create and Maintain Social Circles

Youths seemed to want participation in the arts to meet their need for social interaction and bonding. However, while there were ample opportunities for groups of likeminded peers to come together in the school context through such forums as co-curricular, school and hall activities, youths found it hard to sustain these bonds upon graduation. Moreover, they had difficulty forging new bonds with others who shared similar interests outside of the school setting.and obtain feedback to potential solutions that could be introduced.

To this end, interest groups comprising school alumni often disband after a few years, while private interest groups have difficulty recruiting new members as they are disconnected from school networks. This point was echoed by art teachers and mentors who also appeared to struggle to organise platforms for groups to band together (e.g. networking sessions) on account of most players being separated by self-interests and divergent objectives.

The findings from the study indicate that there is a need to facilitate the creation and maintenance of communities of interest able to fuel amongst its members, continuing arts participation even after graduation from tertiary education.



30

Key Factor (2): avenues for participation that are ‘Fun’ and require low Commitment

The majority of youths did not think they met professional standards in terms of being able to stage a performance or exhibition. Instead, a far greater number of respondents desired only to be involved on a casual basis and sought simply to derive personal enjoyment from what they were doing. It was important that they were able to participate in the arts and have fun at it, without any ”stress”.

Related to this, given the demands on their time and their disinclination to disappoint their contemporaries, they expressed a preference for programmes/initiatives that required low levels of commitment. The local social dancing scene was cited by teachers and mentors as a successful example of this, with enrolment numbers seen to be flourishing amongst the young working adults segment.

Many existing platforms for participation in the arts (e.g. arts events, festivals and workshops) do not appeal to youths. The perception is that these require participants to be professionals, or at the very least, semi-professionals. This is in line with the perception amongst discontinuers that the arts are only for ‘serious artists’ and cannot be pursued as a hobby. There is a necessity to reformulate these platforms for participation to allow easy access and flexibility for individuals to participate at their comfort level.

Key Factor (3): Credible information and targeted Communication

The study revealed that this internet-savvy generation often relied on the internet for help in decision-making with regard to arts participation. While opportunities for arts participation are widely publicised on forums, social networking websites and other online platforms, youths found the available information to be overwhelming and felt ill-equipped to ascertain its credibility to make informed decisions.

Furthermore, the marketing strategies of platforms for arts participation tended to be directed at the generic “youth” category, ignoring the complexity of this group. Seeing as the majority in this age group did not identify with the label “youths”, which they saw as a reference to teenagers, such approaches inadvertently alienated many in this segment.

A key challenge for organisers of these platforms as well as other stakeholders is to customise their marketing and outreach strategies to account for the diversity within this group. Furthermore, there is a need to develop tailored and credible information tools to aid potential and current arts participants in their decision making process. Some ideas that were raised in the study included customised mailing lists and a centralised information resource, possibly integrated with a central arts facility.

The NAC had commissioned Blackbox Research Pte Ltd to conduct this study. This article provides a summary of the key findings of the study. The full report will be published on the NAC website under the section of ‘Statistics and Resources’ by end July at the following address: http://www.nac.gov.sg/sta/sta02.asp

Attitude towards Arts and Culture

Attitude towards arts and culture has generally been positive in Singapore. The Population Survey of the Arts conducted in 2009 revealed that 47% of Singaporeans agreed that arts enriches their quality of life while 52% of Singaporean agreed that arts and culture broadens their minds and encourages creativity.

In the Heritage Awareness Survey conducted in 2008, 92.5% of Singaporeans agree that it is important to gain a good understanding of Singapore’s history and heritage and 88.7% agree that having a better understanding of Singapore’s history and heritage would increase their sense of belonging.
