The National Arts Council (NAC) today announced the Arts Resource Hub (ARH) initiative, targeted at freelance arts practitioners in Singapore planning to develop their careers. The ARH aims to enable arts freelancers to unlock new opportunities and grow meaningful careers for the long term. As part of the initiative’s pilot phase, a beta version of its online resource portal is now live. The ARH website aggregates useful resources in areas such as financial planning, career development and legal knowledge. This information will empower arts freelancers, from art-makers and programmers to those behind the scenes, to navigate the cultural sector, and build capacity for a viable portfolio career.
