The National Arts Council has named Accenture (NYSE: ACN) the
Distinguished Patron of the Arts and the SG50 Arts Patron, for the
company’s contribution of technology and innovation to the arts and
culture in Singapore.
As the National Gallery Singapore’s Innovation Partner,
Accenture is utilising its global expertise in digital technologies
to deliver a differentiated visitor experience at the Gallery.
Additionally, Accenture Digital will deliver valuable insights into
visitor patterns and preferences by analysing data from both online
and in-Gallery visits.
Accenture was presented the two awards by Professor Chan Heng
Chee, Chairperson of National Arts Council, at an award ceremony
held yesterday evening at Capitol Theatre. The Distinguished Patron
of the Arts Award is the highest honour accorded to an
organisation, while the SG50 Arts Patron Award, in conjunction with
Singapore’s Golden Jubilee, acknowledges corporations who have been
instrumental in shaping Singapore’s arts scene.
"We are extremely honoured to receive the two awards from the
National Arts Council as it is an important recognition of our role
and contribution as the Innovation Partner of the National Gallery
Singapore. These awards are especially poignant this year as we
celebrate our 40th anniversary together with Singapore’s Jubilee
year, strengthening our commitment to help improve the way
Singapore works and lives,” said Teo Lay Lim, senior managing
director for ASEAN at Accenture.
Commenting on the partnership with Accenture, National Gallery
Singapore CEO Chong Siak Ching said, “It is critical that we adopt
technology in innovative ways to engage our visitors and enhance
their experience beyond the physical exhibitions into the virtual
world. We are excited that the Gallery can leverage Accenture’s
global expertise to enable our visitors to customise an immersive
gallery experience for themselves, and also share their take about
Singapore and Southeast Asian art across their social
networks.”
The National Gallery Singapore will house the largest public
collection of modern Singapore and Southeast Asian art from the
19th century to present day when it officially opens on November 24
this year. The Gallery will also further cement Singapore’s
position as a regional and international hub for visual arts.
