Established during the Chinese New Year in 2003, Huayi – Chinese Festival of Arts 2024 stands out as one of the three annual cultural celebrations at Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, dedicated to honoring Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage.
Our vision is to elevate Huayi as the premier festival for Chinese artists, earning international acclaim as an arts festival showcasing the exceptional works of Chinese talents. Through a blend of commissions, co-productions, presentations, and showcases, Huayi offers audiences a vibrant and diverse experience of artistic expression from Chinese creators.
Huayi serves as a platform to unveil the distinctive voices of Chinese artists, spanning a broad spectrum from traditional to contemporary, mainstream to cutting-edge, within its multi-genre arts festival. We are committed to fostering collaborations and partnerships with arts centers and festivals globally, working hand in hand with Singaporean artists to introduce them to an international audience.
Over the years, Huayi has evolved into one of the most warmly embraced arts festivals in Singapore, celebrated for providing a coveted platform for Chinese artists worldwide. As our festival coincides with the Chinese New Year, we present an inspiring and thrilling lineup of arts programs, featuring both ticketed and non-ticketed events. We extend an invitation to individuals from all walks of life to join us, partake in our programs, and discover inspiration and positivity, setting the tone for a cheerful start to the new year.
