Facilities and Programs

                1. Kids Art Village

The Kids Art Village was built in mind of allowing the children to enjoy art and play at the same time, not only for them, but also from everyone in the family, from the child to the grandparents. The Kids Art Village is a production created by the collaboration of schools in Singapore and community groups.

The Kids Arts Village is the main attraction for the buzz in the Festival Village, with its highly interactive activities and programmes spotlighting the talented and spontaneous adolescents of Singapore. With the panel of 10 to 12 year old curators, it is bound to capture the young hearts of both young and old and pique the curiosity of all, as it did for me.

The main committee responsible for the idea of the Kids Arts Village is the Kids Advisory Panel 2011/2012, consisting of a team of seven under 12 years old. They were specially selected from SAF 2011 and went through arts appreciation sessions so as to have a further in-depth of the event and conceptualise the concept form Kids Arts Village 2012.

Some of the activites and programs at the Kids Art Village proposed by the Kids Advisory Panel were Spooky Stories by Children, Tangle, UV Art, Fest Goes Green and The Young One! Performance.

              2.  Festival Village

The Festival Village is where all the main performances are shown and it provides a liberating space for each individual to express their interest in arts and culture. It is open from day to night, everyday, so as to cater to the needs of the consumers and involve them in the event, no matter what time of the day they have the inspiration.

With music accompaniment, from jazz to pop and acapella to classical music, you are bound to have the time of your life. Not only that, add in a remix of deejays and hip hop dance groups and you’ll be begging for more when it ends. The festival offers more than you could hope for, with the festival village having a long list of programmes that are a must.  

There’s not only activities but also cafes and bistros to quench the thirst or satisfy the hunger of each individual after a long day at the Festival Village, offering F&B outlets such as Cold Stone Creamery and Tully’s Coffee. Even when enjoying a cup of coffee or having an ice cream café, art is all round with the Bridge Café Project.
