NAC-Arts Victoria MOU Celebrates
The National Arts Council (NAC) and Arts Victoria renewed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Cultural Co-operation on 23 November 2007 at the Parliament House in Melbourne, Australia. The agreement was signed by Mr Lee Suan Hiang, Chief Executive Officer of NAC and Ms Penny Hutchinson, Director of Arts Victoria. It was witnessed by Mr Edmund Cheng, Chairman of NAC and Mrs Lynne Kosky, Minister for Public Transportation and Minister for the Arts for the State of Victoria.
First signed in 1998, the MOU has seen two renewals and 2008 marks the 10th Anniversary of the cultural partnership between Singapore and Australia. This MOU is one of the most active MOUs that NAC has entered into, paving the way for Singapore artists to engage in collaborations and exchanges with Australian artists.
Speaking at the ceremony, Mr Lee Suan Hiang said, “All the exchanges have benefited Singapore artists greatly as we now see them working on their own collaborations after having made the first connections under the MOU. They have developed strong and lasting relationships which have continued to this day.”
