On Nov. 18, 2019, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) put up an Instagram post looking for artists to take part in their Art in Transit (AIT) programme.

Here it is:

Started in 1997, the AIT programme is Singapore's largest public art showcase that aims to integrate the artworks of local artists into MRT stations.

Artists for Punggol Coast MRT station

In particular, LTA is looking for artists to design artworks for an upcoming MRT station — Punggol Coast — along the North East Line.

The new Punggol Coast station is set to be completed by 2023, and will reduce the need to take bus or LRT connections for residents in Punggol North.

It also aims to cut travel time from Punggol North to the city centre and other parts of Singapore by up to 15 minutes.

How to apply

Interested applicants can submit their CV and portfolio to LTA by Dec. 19, 12pm.

CVs should include one's NRIC number and contact details, while portfolios should be in PDF format.

These submissions should then be emailed to [email protected] with the header "Punggol Coast Station Public Call for Artists".

Do note that only Singapore citizens and permanent residents are eligible.

Participants who have applied for AIT programmes in previous years are required to register again, and only shortlisted applicants will be notified.

To date, more than 300 artworks can be found across 80 stations.
