Open House

NAFA welcomed aspiring artists to the campus during its
two-day Open House on 16 and 17 January 2015.
Guided by our friendly student ambassadors, they embarked
on a campus tour to discover the colourful vibes hidden behind
white-washed walls. From intimate consultation sessions with
esteemed NAFA lecturers and conversations with outstanding
NAFA alumni, to art exhibitions, hands-on demonstrations and
live performances, the activities offered potential students a
glimpse into the varied art forms taught and practised at NAFA.
For the first time, Open House visitors interacted with a ‘Live’
Board Game to create buzz online, with a live stream of feeds
from various social media platforms flashing on campus plasma
screens. The event attracted 4,895 visitors, a 23% increase as
compared to 3,988 in 2014.
