The module will provide an overview of the history of arts and cultural policy in Singapore from independence in 1965 to the present and will delve into how it has affected artists, cultural institutions and citizens. The formulation of arts and cultural policies pertaining to funding, censorship and the building of facilities will be critically discussed. Participants will also be introduced to legislation relevant to the arts industry. Key topics include intellectual property, contract law and licensing. Participants will examine statutes and legislation that regulate the arts eco-system. Through local and international case studies, participants will analyse issues such as copyright, agreements, and censorship and how they apply to the arts.
