The Arts for Good (A4G) Fellowship is organised annually by Singapore International Foundation to grow the A4G ecosystem by fostering a community of practice that harnesses the power of arts and culture to create positive social change.
The Fellowship brings together individuals from diverse sectors, including artists, art administrators, and social sector professionals, on an exciting journey of change. Upon completion of the programme, Fellows join a global alumni network where they continue to connect, support and collaborate with one another.
The sixth edition of the Fellowship will explore the theme of Empowering Meaningful Ageing through the Arts. It will focus on holistic arts-based approaches to healthy ageing, looking beyond traditional healthcare practices to explore how participation in the arts can enhance the well-being of seniors.
The Fellowship programme will take on a hybrid format with the following components:
- Online sessions held on 4-6 October 2023, 3 November 2023, and 1 December 2023:
- Focuses on capacity building with the exchange of diverse skills amongst Fellows from different cultural backgrounds.
