The National Arts Council (NAC) and Singapore Land Authority (SLA) announced on Dec 27 that the tender for the long-gestating Kampong Java arts space has been awarded to 19SixtyFive.
The creative agency's proposal beat four other bidders in the July tender for the yet-to-be-named arts space which occupies a 2,659 sq m site. Its plans for the five restored heritage houses, which will be progressively ready from 2025, include a new annual multidisciplinary arts festival that will have live performances, art markets and industry talks.
It will also offer new studio spaces and acoustically treated studios to arts tenants for "creative incubation", with lower rates for budding artists and students. Tenants will pay different rates, depending on how long they want to lease spaces.
