Ecstasy in arts, like in other activities, can only be gotten by persistent and often painful searching and trying. And therefore long-term resource support (manpower and money power) are indispensable.

Kuo Pao Kun
Founder, The Substation
(Open Space, September 1990)

The Substation is an independent, non-profit arts organisation that relies on multiple funding sources to further its mission in nurturing independent, creative practitioners in collaborative community.

Through a combination of support from individual donors, private foundations, government grants and corporate sponsors, The Substation has been able to continue being A Home for the Arts for over 30 years.

What people are saying about
The Substation

'The Substation has been the incubator for artistic personalities over the last generation. [...] And so long as there are still people need [to] and are willing to give to The Substation, it would morph and be what the community needs it to be. So stop expecting. Instead, we should start giving.'
