BIG changes are afoot at Arts Festival Limited, the holding company
running the Singapore International Festival of Arts, which was in
the news last week for a public e-mail spat between its two
leaders.
On April 1, it merges with The Old Parliament House Limited to
manage The Arts House near Empress Place and other arts spaces
such as Goodman Arts Centre in Mountbatten and Aliwal Arts Centre
in the Beach Road area, now run by The Old Parliament House Limited
(TOPH).
A new merged entity will be formed to run the arts festival and
these arts spaces. It will be called Arts House Limited and led by
Ms Lee Chor Lin, 50, chief executive officer of Arts Festival
Limited.
This was announced yesterday by Acting Minister for Culture,
Community and Youth Lawrence Wong at The Arts House’s 10th
anniversary celebration, which was attended by about 600
people.
