About DECK Photography Art Centre Ltd.

DECK, a registered charity and Institution of Public Character (IPC), is committed to empowering local talents to amplify Southeast Asian culture through photography arts. Our mission is to preserve and elevate the unique visual voice of Singapore and our region, fostering a vibrant community of artists and enthusiasts alike.

Since our inception in 2012, DECK has grown from a ground-up initiative to a pivotal force in the regional arts scene. We have presented over 500 public programmes to nurture visual literacy and artistic expression, reaching nearly 300,000 individuals through a broad spectrum of exhibitions, workshops, and masterclasses.

At the heart of DECK's endeavours lies the Singapore International Photography Festival (SIPF), one of Southeast Asia's premier platforms for visual storytelling. This biennial event serves as a cultural bridge, showcasing our collective heritage and contemporary narratives to a global audience.

Through SIPF, we have not only put Singapore on the world map of photography, but also created invaluable opportunities for emerging artists across the region to hone their skills, connect with one another and gain international recognition.

Our work continues to inspire creativity, foster cross-cultural dialogue, and push the boundaries of photographic art. By supporting DECK, you contribute to the flourishing of Southeast Asian visual arts and help cultivate a new generation of talented artists who will shape the future of our cultural landscape.

For Singapore taxpayers, donations of $50 and above are eligible for a 2.5 times tax deduction. Moreover, every dollar donated is matched by the Cultural Matching Fund from the Ministry of Culture, Community & Youth (MCCY), doubling your impact on the arts community.

Together, we can illuminate Southeast Asian voices and perspectives through the power of photography.
