TikTok Creative Residency
This residency invites creators to explore, experiment, and create engaging content around the Gallery's exhibitions, events, and behind-the-scenes work.
Have a flair for content creation and a unique perspective?
The Gallery is launching our first-ever TikTok Creative Residency, and if you're a chronically online doomscroller who spends a little too much time on social media, this one's for you.
As our Resident TikToker, you will create content that generates buzz around our year-end blockbuster exhibition Pop after Pop: Art around Us, our flagship festival Light to Night Singapore 2027, and other exciting projects, while gaining exclusive access to behind-the-scenes activities at the Gallery. With the space to learn, experiment, and exchange ideas, the residency aims to allow you to develop your storytelling practice while bringing fresh perspectives and new ideas to how art and the Gallery are experienced.
If you're passionate about creating content, love getting creative and experimental on social media, live and breathe TikTok, and want to translate your brainrot into telling engaging stories around art, we invite you to apply.
The residency will run from 1 December 2026 to 31 March 2027. This is a paid opportunity and is open to Singapore Citizens and Singapore PRs based in Singapore.
