Our Vision

The Singapore Creative Network UK (SCNUK) is a fully independent and non-profit organization focusing on connecting Singaporeans in the creative industry in the UK and Singapore. The network welcomes interests from Architecture, Dance, Design, Film, Fine Art, Music and Theatre to Arts Management, Anthropology, Aesthetic Philosophy and Cultural Policy Studies.

At present, the network serves as a playground for creative collaborations. For the past three years since it is inaugurated, the network has been organizing high publicity events including its two presence at the London Design Festival, and working with several well known organizations such as 100%Design, Designersblock in the UK and DesignCouncil Singapore to allow creative exchange between the creative circle in Singapore and the UK. It has also hosted many public events and screenings at various London art related venues such as the ICA, Fleapit and Candid Arts Trusts. It also seeks to collaborate on a smaller and accessible scale with sprouting networks and emerging creatives.

Due to the high mobility of creative people working and studying abroad, the network is anticipated to expand globally in the next decade or so with more collaborations with other established or emerging talents.
