About NAF

The Nanyang Arts Festival (NAF) has been an annual event since 2003. Back then, it was known as the Cultural Festival to promote culture and the performing arts in NTU. Through this festival, we hope to increase the level of appreciation and awareness of the arts scene amongst students, be it in visual or performing arts. The festival also engages and promotes arts participation through workshops, competitions and performances. Lastly, NAF supports the various arts-related events and performances by the 21 Member Clubs of CAC, and in recent years have grown to include the many cultural and arts groups of NTU. The festival lasts from January to March every year. Since 2008, NAF has also been endorsed and supported by the National Arts Council.

Our Vision

To develop NTU's potential as a cultural hub and establish NAF as a premier event that will place NAF on the cultural and arts calendar of Singapore.

Logo Description

The logo is a stylised combination of the letters 'n', 'a' and 'f', which is the abbreviation of the words Nanyang Arts Festival.

Drawn in a calligraphic stroke coupled with the fluid, free-flowing motion, it signifies the art and dance of the festival and of the Member Clubs.
Music is represented through the curvature of the 'a' and the 'f' letters, which mimics that of the G-clef musical symbol.

The two colours of the logo represent harmony, with the yellow-gold symbolising the rich culture and heritage of the Member Clubs, and the red representing the vibrancy and dynamism of the festival.

The bold serif font type portrays a contemporary feel, signifying the positive direction the festival is headed towards, yet maintaining the classic and timeless look, synonymous with the heritage of arts.
