Singapore Arts Festival

There is something exquisite about a boutique hotel in Singapore .  It suggests that the good life has suddenly become a priority, and moments of great beauty matter.  The hotels are superbly designed for comfort and luxury, presenting visually pleasing decor along with the amenities that make waking and sleeping a joy.  The rest here is complete, and rejuvenating, preparing you to take in the sights of the city around you.

It is a fantastic metropolis.  One of the most easy countries in the world to live, and one of the most cutting-edge in terms of trends and styles, there is so much to see here that it is really rather stunning.  There is great art, great restaurants, and beautiful vistas everywhere.  If you’re lucky enough to be traveling in the beginning of Summer, you should absolutely make time for the Singapore Arts Festival .

Begun in 1977, the Singapore Arts Festival presented new works by local artists who were on the verge of making interesting careers as art-makers.  The festival was conceived as a way to showcase these works, and to bring attention to Singapore as an artistic center.  The festival, after three decades, is hugely successful.  The Singapore Arts Festival has helped to give Singapore an identity as a major force in the art world at large.  The festival now has categories for theatre, dance, music, visual art, and works that cross and combine disciplines.  Critics and audiences from around the world come to see the talent at work here.  It is still devoted to showcasing the best of Singapore, but also shows cutting edge work from around the globe.  They have their own bloggers , in the tradition of other theater festivals, who help audiences sort out the multitude of work that can be seen here.  Truly a communal event, attendance at the Singapore Art Festival means a connection to a larger global community engaged in a fantastic artistic conversation.
