Beyond Borders: Outdoor Arts Exchange

Want to explore how outdoor arts can travel, connect communities and grow across borders?

Beyond Borders: Outdoor Arts Exchange is a professional exchange platform that brings together artists, producers, programmers, presenters, cultural organisations and arts professionals to explore the practice, presentation and future of outdoor arts.

Through interactive discussions, case studies and knowledge-sharing sessions led by European outdoor arts practitioners and professionals, you’ll gain insights into how outdoor arts ecosystems are developed, how performances in public spaces are created and sustained, and how international collaborations are built.

More than a traditional conference, Beyond Borders is a participatory platform for open dialogue, shared experiences and new ideas. Connect with peers in Singapore and the wider European outdoor arts community while exploring what outdoor arts can become here.

  • Learn how outdoor arts ecosystems are built and supported
  • Explore the artistic, logistical and production considerations of creating work in public spaces
  • Discover approaches to partnerships, co-productions, touring and cross-sector collaboration
