Goodman Arts Centre

This place is ridiculous. I went for an art festival. They combined a garage sale. The art centre is more of a kids activity centre for rich kids and foreigners. Some of the arts were kids. There were a couple of good dances. The arts were ok but pretty low standards for art school. I have attended other art school run by local artists. The quality of those are of a higher quality. The food outlets there are expensive and cater to western taste. I live in New York and am from there.
I would refrain from attending other events at this Goodman centre

Going to Goodman Arts Centre (GAC) was a very difference experience when I used to be working there versus heading there as a «visitor». Managed by the people from TOPH (The Old Parliament House), Goodman Arts Centre is one of the various arts housing locations under the National Arts Council’s Arts Housing scheme.
Besides having various shared facilities such as project studios, seminar rooms, meeting rooms and gallery space that the public can rent for corporate and artistic purposes, there are also studios/​workshops available for artists and arts groups that qualify for the scheme to rent on a longer term basis.
With the various artists housed here, GAC is bustling with a lot of arts activities from the annual Open House to exhibitions and performances etc that the public can enjoy. Some of these activities are free and some are ticketed. One of the tenants that’s worth mentioning is the Goodman Ceramics Studio where they have classes on pottery and basic throwing.
Conveniently located 5mins away from Mountbatten MRT station, it’s not a difficult place to get to. Housed in this arts enclave are 2 F&B outlets, La Barca and of course, my personal favourite, Café Melba.

The compound that makes up the Goodman Arts Centre is best known for being the home of the old LaSalle College for the Arts. It’s about a 5-​min walk away from Circle Line Mountbatten station, so while not the most central of locations, it is quite convenient to get to. Food outlets close by include the famous Old Airport Road Hawker Centre; they’ve just recently refurbished the Jalan Batu food centre across the road, and GAC itself is host to two FnB outlets — Australian Bistro Café Melba, and the upscale La Barca Italian restaurant.
GAC is where the National Arts Council office is, but it also provides homes to various other arts tenants, both artists and arts groups alike. There always seems to be something happening here, whether it’s a performance in the multi-​purpose hall, or an outdoor concert in the mini amphitheatre, so it does have a pretty nice vibe while remaining relatively serene away from the hustle and bustle of town and the CBD. The shared facilities are good options for arts groups who need a temporary or more permanent space, with special rates available for artists/​arts groups — check out their website for more details.
