The study and research of Southeast Asian arts has positively influenced the multidisciplinary nature of art studies here at NAFA, accumulating a growing resource of ideas and innovations that include outcomes from 3D Design, Design & Media, Fine Art, Arts Management, Fashion, Theatre, Dance, and Music. ISEAA adopts the role as catalyst and motivator to bring the best of ideas and innovations articulating NAFA’s SEA dimension to a world stage. Apart from the annual SEA Arts Forum held at NAFA, ISEAA gathers exciting new opportunities, avenues and platforms for NAFA’s faculty, students and network affiliates to showcase their research and output featuring SEA content unique to our artistic spectrum in visual and performing arts. Our Art Galleries strive to cultivate a high level of aesthetic standards in exhibition presentation and take the lead in materialising important artistic projects with both conventional and new media. Our programmes periodically feature student graduation shows; selected academy‐wide/departmental projects; commissioned or curated international programmes; as well as regular displays of the older generation of Singapore’s artists closely tied to the history of the academy and the history of art in Singapore.
