ADMISSION

From ground zero, DECK art space embody the spirit of creation, a local ground-up initiative which believes in creating valuable experience and encounters with photography in Singapore. 85% of DECK’s year-round programmes is free admission to enable accessibility to the arts. Our programmes have unearthed young talents, gather common resources for the community, and foster artistic development of local and international practitioners. While DECK is a recipient of National Arts Council’s Major Company Grant, 65% of the annual expenditure is covered by public donation, sponsorship, programmes fees and rental revenue. This fundraising fair is an opportunity for you to be involved, be connected, and be part of the vision.
