Welcome to LASALLE!
You have taken your first step towards joining one of the most vibrant, dynamic, and inspiring arts institutions in Asia. We are delighted to show you around at our e-Open House.
What makes the LASALLE experience special? If you were to ask our students you would probably get as many different answers. The creative energy. A beautiful, award-winning campus. Opportunities to attend and organise exhibitions, events and talks from a wide range of artistic disciplines. Industry links that mean you graduate with strong connections and real-world experience. Our world-class faculty, most of whom are also practising artists.
Today, you bring with you brand new ideas and perspectives, shaped by your experiences in a world vastly unlike anything we have seen in previous generations. The pandemic has completely transformed the way we live, work, play and think. It is in a world like this that we will need artists and designers more than ever. We will need people who can bridge disciplines and make creative connections. We will need acts of courage, imagination and hope.
To the artists, designers and performers of tomorrow, this is your time to shine. LASALLE stands ready to start you on your journey.
I wish you a very fruitful e-Open House, and look forward to welcoming you to our campus in person come August!
