Exciting Launch of SG Culture Pass!

Get ready, Singapore! Starting September 1, a vibrant new platform will unveil over 400 arts and heritage events just waiting for you to explore. Dive into performances, workshops, and unique experiences with your SG Culture Pass, loaded with $100 of digital credits for all citizens aged 18 and above.

Your Invitation Awaits!

While the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) will send out SMS notifications to eligible recipients, you don’t have to wait! Head straight to sgculturepass.gov.sg to activate your credits and start browsing events today.

More Than Just Events!

This groundbreaking initiative, revealed during Budget 2025, aims to break down financial barriers and get more people engaged in the arts scene. With a whopping $300 million set aside, the goal is to ignite a passion for culture—starting with subsidized tickets to boost attendance.

How to Use Your Credits!

Using your credits is easy! Log in with your Singpass, answer a few quick questions, and start exploring. Choose your event, and you’ll be redirected to one of several ticketing partners like Sistic and BookMyShow. Select SG Culture Pass at payment to apply your credits, and easily top up with a credit card or PayNow if needed.

Ready to Explore?

From a graffiti workshop with Art Outreach to a city tour inspired by the anthology 'Streets And Places Of Singapore,' there’s something for everyone. Impressively, 70% of approved programs are priced at $50 or less, allowing you to enjoy multiple events.

Support the Arts Community!

The MCCY is actively working with organizations to assist both seniors and students in learning about and redeeming their credits. Throughout September, SG Culture Pass ambassadors will be stationed at 18 community clubs, ready to answer your questions.

Join the Cultural Movement!

Prime Minister Lawrence Wong encourages everyone: “Explore something new. Support our artists and cultural practitioners.” This is your chance to not only enjoy the arts but to foster a unique Singaporean identity.

Stay Safe from Scams!

MCCY has warned against scams and emphasized that they will never ask for personal information via SMS. For any concerns, reach out to the dedicated hotline at 6338-3632.

Don’t Miss Out!

While similar initiatives have seen mixed uptake, the SG Culture Pass hopes to change that. Together, let’s make a concerted effort to embrace and support the arts in Singapore!
