Décrivez les principales caractéristiques de la politique/mesure:
The Australia-Singapore Art Group (ASAG) was established in May 2016 for an initial five-year term until 2021.
ASAG provides strategic and expert advice on arts and cultural engagement, exchange and partnership opportunities, and collaborative capability development between the creative sectors of Singapore and Australia. It supports the mobility of artists and cultural professionals through cultural activities between the two countries, including touring theatrical productions, hosting authors at writers’ festivals, and collaborative dance performances.
The Group includes representatives from Australia and Singapore with arts sector experience, government and business skills. The Ministry of Culture, Communities and Youth (MCCY), Singapore and the Office for the Arts within the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications in Australia, act as secretariats for their respective countries for the ASAG members and meetings.
In more recent years, ASAG has further developed its approach to support triangular cooperation with developing nations, for instance through support of participation in the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Performing Arts, which showcases artists from a variety of countries in the Indo-Pacific region.

La mise en œuvre de la politique/mesure a-t-elle été évaluée ?:
Oui
Si oui, quelles sont les principales conclusions/recommandations ?:
There has been an increase in regular cultural exchanges between Australia and Singapore across art forms relating to ASAG. ASAG has raised the profile of the arts and cultural sectors of both countries, as well as boosted sustained collaboration beyond one-off events.
It is recommended that Australia and Singapore give added consideration to further cooperation in long-term capability building, joint engagement of third countries to demonstrate benefits of Australia-Singapore cooperation in the region, and in promoting the economic and social value of the arts.
