Now into its fourth year, Noise Singapore is an arts festival for young people, by young people, and is dedicated to creating noise about the creative talent of young people in Singapore. Through its open platforms, youths aged 35 and below can send in fresh and original works in the categories of art & design, music and photography, to be showcased to the world.
This year, Noise Singapore unveils a brand new website with social networking facilities to perpetuate a creative democracy for youths, and empower them to showcase their talents through their own unique forms of artistic expression. The new capabilities on www.noisesingapore.com include the creation of personalised profile pages for participants to exhibit their art works, photographs and music, a blog for them to express themselves with words, and functions to critique each other’s masterpieces.
On top of the showcase opportunities, Noise Singapore also serves to give young talents a head-start in the creative industries with initiatives such as The Apprenticeship Programme (TAP) where participants are mentored by industry experts. Apprentices will be immersed in challenging real-life work environments, and will also get to work with apprentices from other disciplines on a collaborative project with the guidance of their mentors. This year’s mentors include names such as veteran local musician Mayuni Omar, videographer Emida Nalataray and illustrator Kelvin Chan, each with a wealth of professional and artistic experience to pass on to their apprentices.
The real eye-opener to look out for would be the Festival Showcase in February-March 2009, where selected creative works and artists from the open call for submissions would be showcased at several venues and mediums around Singapore. The call for submissions will run from 16 Aug to 15 Dec, and there will also be Noise workshops for participants to hone their skills and learn more about their craft.
