What is the Kids Arts Village?
This is a special visual and performing arts space specially created by children for children. Curated and managed by the Kids Advisory Panel, this three-week-long festival will feature numerous kindergarten, primary and secondary school children. Come let your imagination run wild!
How did this idea come about?
We were shortlisted by the Singapore Arts Festival to form the Kids Advisory Panel and were treated to watch ten different shows at the 2010 Singapore Arts Festival. Both Mr Low Kee Hong and Mr Jeffrey Tan brainstormed with us as to what we wanted to see and do at the Kids Arts Village this year.
In October 2010, we held a public exhibition of our Kids Arts Village maps and got other children to vote for features that they would like to see and do at the Kids Arts Village. There was also a concurrent ‘Draw your Kids Arts Village’ activity at the Jendala Art Gallery at Esplanade.
All the ideas were given to the professional architects and this village is the result of our dreams!
