Our History
The Singapore Teachers’ Art Society is a non profit organization. It started in February 1989. The organization is open to all teachers and all persons in the educational field who are interested in Art. The objectives of the society are:
- To promote Art Education in Singapore
- To raise the quality of teaching Art/Crafts in schools
- It is also to serve as a community centre for all the art teachers to upgrade their professionalism.
Our activities include an annual art exhibition, annual art camp, weekly painting sessions, conducting art courses to assist teachers in their teaching (on request) and painting trips. At times, courses, workshops and visits (locally and abroad) are organized to provide not only enrichment but also opportunities for interactions between teachers and artists.
