Arts Observed

Arts Observed Observing and promoting all art forms in our island country We're just here to share our observations and thoughts of the arts scene in Singapore.

Arts Observed is presented by the arts librarians who maintain the arts collection on Level 8 and 9 of the National Library building, covering resources on topics ranging from architecture, fine arts to illustrations, design, performing and literary arts. You may see us around the library or even in different parts of the island capturing art in motion. Do say hi and join us in our discussions he
