Creating a wonder-filled experience
Inspiring the passion

After a successful first outing in 2006, the Singapore Biennale returns this year with the theme of Wonder! We are calling all who are interested to join our team in this promising and dynamic endeavour. SB2006 was a blast because of the dedicated and inspiring contributions of our many volunteers and interns which was key to the smooth execution of the Biennale. They helped bring contemporary art to the audience, making the experience fun, enriching and accessible to all.
