The project has been supported by the Embassy of Italy, EuroCham, and the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Singapore. In addition, it has further been selected by the Singapore Tourism Board to be part of the official programme of Grand Prix Season Singapore 2023 (GPSS). Part of the exhibiting artists are also alumni and members of LASALLE College of the Arts (LASALLE) and the University of the Arts Singapore (UAS), and the initiative received support also from cultural partners such as Art Galleries Association Singapore (AGAS) and the non-profit arts intermediary, Art Outreach Singapore.
The new Ambassador-Designate of Italy to Singapore, Dante Brandi, commented, “The Singapore Night Race” is an unmissable event not only for motor fans. We are thrilled that in addition to the renowned motorsport brands, Italy is also represented by DZ Engineering, providing the track illumination with cutting-edge technology LED lights,more sustainable and more efficient. I am also really proud of the initiative of Dino Zoli Foundation, to bring the discarded floodlights of the previous edition to new life, through the recycling art project for Contemporary Art, involving 10 prominent local artists indifferent upcycled artistic creations. Our Embassy is glad to support this initiative, which combines creativity with environmental sustainability and enhances collaborations between the Foundation and local universities and art institutions.”
