Tote Board Arts Fund
The Tote Board Arts Fund is an initiative of the Singapore Totalisator Board, managed by a committee appointed by the National Arts Council (NAC). It provides support to local artists and arts groups in bringing the arts to communities and creating shared experiences for people to connect with one another. The fund aims to make the arts accessible to wider audiences while fostering social connections. The Arts Fund supports projects across multiple art forms including music, dance, theatre, musical theatre, multi-disciplinary performances, visual arts exhibitions (including photography), and literary arts events such as readings and poetry performances. Projects must demonstrate a well-designed approach to fulfilling social outcomes related to community building, national identity, and appreciation of the arts.
