As
Singapore is a small and relatively modern amalgam of Chinese, Malay, Indian
and European immigrants, the culture of Singapore expresses the diversity of
the population as the various ethnic groups continue to celebrate their own
cultures while they intermingle with one another.Singapore is a good place to view and purchase art from all over Asia, as well as works by local artists. The cultural diversity means that works by local artists cover a broad palette of themes and styles. Notable galleries include the Singapore Art Museum, Artfolio, Raffles Hotel, Art2 at The Substation, Cicada Gallery of Fine Arts, Ann Siang Road and the ground floor of the Ministry of Information, Communication and the Arts.
Singapore's calendar of annual events is a real mix of ancient and modern, with old, revered ritual pitted against the new and experimental.
