Before the first class, there was UAS Welcome Night 2026. ​

Our newest students from LASALLE and NAFA came together for an evening of performances from the talented students, words of wisdom from our leaders, and the chance to connect with peers and faculty before the semester begins. More than a celebration, the night marked the start of new friendships and a creative community to grow alongside. ​

Once again, to all new students, welcome to UAS! We can't wait to see where the years ahead will take you. ​

Every creative has a few lessons they wish they'd learned sooner.

With a new semester just round the corner at UAS, here's a reminder that an arts education is about much more than mastering a discipline. Creative growth takes time, and some of the most valuable lessons come through experimentation, persistence, and learning along the way.

Continue to imagine, question, experiment and make things happen. ​

This National Day, we're celebrating the Singapore hiding in plain sight.​

The $50 note in your wallet, the MRT map you check every day, the Singapore Airlines uniform recognised the world over: all true icons of Singapore, often without anyone realising it.​

That's the story of every generation here: creatives quietly building how a nation looks, moves, and feels. This SG61, we're celebrating that legacy, and training the next wave of creatives to carry it forward at UAS.​

As Singapore goes beyond, so will they. 🎉​
