Objectifs
# Objectifs

Objectifs is an independent non-profit visual arts space in Singapore that aims to cultivate original voices in visual storytelling, and to inspire and broaden perspectives through the power of images. It presents a year round programme of exhibitions, screenings, residencies, developmental programmes, talks and workshops that advance the practice and appreciation of photography and film.

## Background

Established in 2003, Objectifs first took root in Liang Seah Street in the Bugis area in Singapore. It moved to Arab Street in 2009 and occupied 4 floors in an art deco influenced shophouse. In June 2015, Objectifs moved to its current location, at 155 Middle Road, Bugis, in the arts and heritage district, under the National Arts Council's Arts Housing Scheme. The facilities include a gallery/screening space, two multipurpose spaces, outdoor courtyards and a retail store.
