Translation: Yuki Mine. It was gazetted as a national monument in 1998 and transformed into comfortable and lively premises for MICA. MICA moved from PSA Building to MICA Building in 2000. The building also houses National Arts Council, National Heritage Board, Media Development Authority and Singapore Kindness Movement.
Between 1845 and 1856, the Assembly Rooms – a space for public functions and a building that housed a theatre and a school – occupied this site. Upon its completion in 1934, it was the largest government building and regarded as a modern skyscraper. To provide vehicular access behind the building, the steep slopes of Fort Canning had to be cut back and shored up. There are 911 windows.
The main courtyard, the former police parade ground, has been converted into an air-conditioned atrium, called The ARTrium for art activities. The ARTrium, with its colour and space, is an ideal venue for large scale visual art exhibitions and performing arts events.
A multi-purpose space for artists, designers and just about anyone who has a creative statement to make, to create and showcase their works! Suitable for workshops, seminars and conferences, multi-media works, film screenings, theatre, dances and music performances, rehearsals, story telling, poetry readings, exhibitions, installations, forums, product launches, competitions……
