This chapter introduces readers to The Artground (TAG), a dedicated arts space for children in Singapore. Developed by The Ground Co Limited in collaboration with the National Arts Council, Singapore, TAG emerged amidst a growing number of purpose-built arts spaces for young audiences around the world, such as The Ark (Dublin, Ireland) and ArtPlay (Melbourne, Australia). Dubbed as ‘A Curious Place to Be’, TAG provides opportunities to both artists and audiences to be creative, to play, and to delve into an exploration and discovery of the arts. Children and families are offered a variety of arts, music, dance and theatre programmes, while artists are supported in the incubation and creation of these works for young audiences. This chapter traces the development of TAG, describing the various opportunities that are offered to TAG’s artists and audiences to encourage them to be curious. |
