MESSAGE FROM CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Living in current climate of technological and scientific innovation, there is a common misconception that it is virtually impossible to make a living in art sector. Public tends to view art on a negative stigma; it is not fundamental to the society and it is an easy course to major in thus affecting the general perspective on its feasibility in making it as a career.

Throughout the years, SIA have progressively erode the stigma and replace it with our graduates as the evidence that art is indispensable in life. Our programmes were meticulously tailored to run parallel with the ever changing industry and students are inspired to embrace lifelong learning to improve their knowledge, skills and competencies in all perspective of live.
​
Many thanks to SIA Academic and Management team for their commitment in developing SIA and hats off to the parents that support their childrens’ decision to pursue their career in creative sector.

Thank you

Chief Executive Officer
