e) Reflect on the main purpose of this event or festival;
Singaporeans have always had a misconception of arts. They often think that arts is very boring. And for the past years, Singapore has always been trying to get their citizens to be more involved in arts. I think that, the main purpose of this festival is to arouse more interest in arts from Singaporeans. And also, the Singapore Arts Festival also allows artists from locally and internationally to showcase their talents.
Especially in Singapore, there are not many places for artists to flaunt their talents. Thus, I think that, the Singapore Arts Festival can allow the artists to perform, and also allow more people to have a better idea and concept of arts. However, not many people will get to perform in the Singapore Arts Festival, as they will select carefully which artists to invite. Only when you have real passion and real talents, then you may be selected to perform during the Singapore Arts Festival.
In addition, the festival wants the host communities to be inspired by the arts, and hoping to have more artists discovered through this festival. The festival wants Singapore to have more local artists, and also make Singapore a city well known for its arts and arts talents.
