Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts (NAFA)
The Nanyang Academy of Fine Art or NAFA opened its doors in 1938 to only 14 students of Fine Art. Today, NAFA has become a full-fledged arts institution, well-known in Singapore and the region.

Lasalle College of the Arts was founded by Brother Joseph McNally in 1984. He originally funded most of it himself. The ethos of the college is strongly practice-led and industry-focused, with an emphasis on inter-disciplinary collaboration.

The centre is named after the late Jacob Ballas, a successful stock broker and prominent member of the Jewish community. It's the hub of Jewish life in Singapore, and houses the rabbi and his family.

The Substation
The Substation is Singapore’s first independent contemporary arts space. It was founded by legendary arts doyenne Kuo Pao Kun in 1990. It used to be a power sub-station, but today it's considered a safe space for experimental and multi-disciplinary works.
