The government is studying the possibility of introducing a mix of private and public housing at the former colonial military compound which is now an arts and lifestyle enclave.
SINGAPORE: Tenants at Gillman Barracks hope that art can be part of development plans for the area.Â
Environmental and heritage studies will start in the second quarter of 2024, and are estimated to be completed around the first half of 2026, National Development Minister Desmond Lee said in parliament on Mar 5.Â
“The spaces at Gillman Barracks are very conducive because they have high ceilings,” said Ms Audrey Yeo, president of Art Galleries Association Singapore.Â
“These used to be former military barracks, so they are of all shapes and sizes. But ultimately, they are good spaces for exhibitions. The rent is affordable, which allows artists and galleries to put on more experimental projects, and that is very helpful for the development of artists' practices.”
