Local Networking Opportunities
In our tiny red dot, we have the potential to build a tight-knit group of passionate collaborators to share ideas, resources and opportunities.
Together, we will create a greater, more exciting landscape for our Young Audiences.
Global Connection
ASSITEJ is a global network. With the various connections and friendships to be made, our members get to interact and network with
like-minded individuals overseas and forge memorable friendships to further the scene that is Arts for Young Audiences.
Access to a growing library of TYA-related literature
GroundBreakers is a year-long Artist Incubation Programme that invites artmakers to conceptualize, devise, test and design experiences for young audiences.
Trial sessions are an essential part of this process, as you get to observe the work, and feedback and responses from audiences at each stage of the work.
Upcoming ASSITEJ SG membership events
We are planning a series of networking sessions with local artists throughout the year to develop a stronger community of artists for the A4YA sector.
Where possible, we will organise sessions with visiting artists from the region and/or internationally.
We also hope to seek funding opportunities for our members to attend the events that ASSITEJ International organises.
These are some of the events that are in the works for 2025.
27 - 30 June 2025, Fri - Mon - ASSITEJ Singapore x Baby Playground - Playground Observation X Mindful Materials Workshop
