A. ABOUT THE *SCAPE COMMUNITY ARTS RESIDENCY
The *SCAPE Community Arts Residency aims to support practising artists in advancing the field of community arts in Singapore. Through the Residency, the appointed artist/collective will have opportunities to inquire, develop arts-based collaborations, and co-create with a youth community (or communities) on an arts project that reflects upon the stories of these youth and what matters to them.

One youth artist/collective will be appointed from 1 Aug 2025 – 31 Jan 2026 (six months), during which they should actively and consistently engage with one or more youth community group(s) of their choice in a collaborative art-making process. Some support will be given by *SCAPE for the appointed artist/collective to engage community groups, connect with stakeholders, and exchange ideas with peers in the arts community. The appointed artist/collective will be expected to document the process and work towards a public showcase to be held at a space within *SCAPE or the Somerset Belt district in Jan 2026.

The final showcase can be in one of the following formats: exhibition, guided tour, talk, lecture, workshop, screenings, or temporary artwork installation. Applicants may also propose other formats of presentation.

The final showcase will be held as part of *SCAPE's signature creative arts festival COMMA in Jan 2026. It must be ready to be presented to the public for the entire duration of the Singapore Art Week 2026 (22 – 31 January 2026). The showcase's Start Date may also begin before 22 January 2026 and its End Date may extend beyond 31 January 2026.
