PROMOTING THE INDIAN FINE ARTS

One of SIFAS' principal activities is to train students in the performing arts and visual arts. However, as a premiere Indian Arts institution in Singapore, SIFAS also connects the Indian Arts community and contributes to Singapore’s diverse and unique cultural tapestry through the production and promotion of Indian Arts.

CREATING OPPORTUNITIES

SIFAS recognises the integral nature of productions as creating opportunities for all of its members and students to participate regularly in festivals, cultural events, workshops and produced content.

SIFAS Programmes

SIFAS produces regular programmes on Indian music, dance and visual arts at The SIFAS Stage and at external venues like Esplanade, Theatre on the Bay and The Republic Cultural Centre.

THE SIFAS STAGE
