These efforts aim to cultivate a new generation of creative talents poised to contribute to the development of Singapore\u2019s arts and cultural identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMapletree is proud to drive new initiatives for young creatives, underscoring our commitment to our Corporate Social Responsibility pillars of education and art. We are grateful for the collaboration with UAS, LASALLE and NAFA to empower young Singapore-based artists in pursuing their passion,\u201d said Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman, Mapletree. \u201cThese works of art will be in celebration of Singapore\u2019s 60th birthday and are made even more meaningful as we experience the essence of Singapore through the eyes of tomorrow\u2019s trailblazers.
