Impact is an annual fundraising show that is organised by School of the Arts, Singapore (SOTA) to raise funds for the SOTA Endowment Fund (SEF).
Like the roots of a tree, the SEF was set up in 2019 to serve as a strong foundation towards growing a self-sustainable source of funds for the school in providing our students with bursaries, scholarships and other financial assistance. The fund ensures that SOTA’s unique arts education remains accessible so that no child gets left behind due to financial disadvantage.
Supporting our school’s vision to nurture the next generation of cultural leaders who positively impact society, the annual fundraising show draws inspiration from a Singaporean cultural leader who has made significant contributions in shaping Singapore’s arts and cultural landscape. Young aspiring artists at SOTA are encouraged to learn from the stories and works of these pioneers, in turn creating new and original works for the show.
Featuring Dance, Film, Literary Arts, Music, Theatre, and Visual Arts works by the SOTA community,
Impact is a carefully crafted multidisciplinary showcase that is cohesive and rich in meaning. It is a celebration of everything that makes the SOTA education experience unique.
Impact has drawn inspiration from the life and works of the following cultural icons:
Tang Da Wu
Zubir Said About the Logo 
The
Impact logo was designed by Visual Arts students Clariss Tan and Emma Grace Sung. The students used two triangles replacing the 'a' to represent a fast-forward icon that illustrates how the SOTA Endowment Fund is forward-looking. The students also wanted to capture the idea of a blank canvas similar to the SOTA logo, to demonstrate that despite the different environments the logo may be placed in, it is able to adapt. Much like the adaptability of artists such as themselves, and their ability to make an Impact in any environment.
