Alliance Française de Singapour is organising the annual visual art competition and exhibition France + Singapore New Generation Artists (FSNGA) for its third time. FSNGA aims to feature new generation visual artists from France and Singapore and to provide a platform which introduces the creative potential of these upcoming artists from both countries to its international audience, hence creating awareness of the emerging styles in art and contributing in shaping the landscape of the art scene. It is also organised to promote exchange of artistic knowledge, experiences and ideas between the new generation artists from France and Singapore.
