The Arts House, Arts center in Civic District, Singapore
The Arts House occupies a Neo-Palladian building with two floors, featuring columns, large windows, and a prominent frontage facing the Singapore River.
Built in 1827 by architect George Drumgoole Coleman, the structure served as Singapore's Parliament from 1965 to 1999 before becoming an arts venue.
The venue presents multidisciplinary programs including literature readings, film screenings, visual arts exhibitions, and performing arts throughout the calendar year.
