Featuring the highlights of SMU Arts Festival in its Jubilee year

In 2025, the SMU Arts Fest takes center stage with two significant milestones in Singapore’s history: the 25th Anniversary of Singapore Management University and the 60th birthday of the nation. The theme, 2560, carries deep symbolis —“25” celebrates SMU’s remarkable 25-year journey, embodying the university’s youthful spirit and its aspirations for the future. “60” pays tribute to Singapore’s resilience, growth, and identity as a vibrant global city. Together, the theme bridges tradition and innovation, connecting past achievements with future aspirations.

To commemorate these milestones, staff, students, alumni, and collaborative partners have curated a programme that celebrates in all things Singaporean—from the nation’s rich cultural heritage to its diverse communities. It will also provide a platform to recognise the inspirations and accomplishments of our forebears, fostering meaningful dialogue between the young and old, through collective shared experiences.
