Gillman Barracks
Gillman Barracks is a contemporary arts cluster in Singapore that is home to international art galleries, restaurants and the NTU Centre for Contemporary Art (CCA) Singapore, which are all housed in conserved colonial barracks. Located at Lock Road (off Alexandra Road) on a 6.4 hectare site and set amid lush greenery, Gillman Barracks is jointly developed by the Singapore Economic Development Board, JTC Corporation and the National Arts Council.
== History ==
Gillman Barracks is located on the site of a former military camp named after the late General Sir Webb Gillman, a well-known British army officer.〔Sir Webb Gillman (). (1933, April 21). The Times. Retrieved November 26, 2008, from The Times Digital Archive.〕 Set up in 1936 to accommodate the expansion of the British infantry in Singapore, the camp consists of 14 buildings that were taken over by the Singapore Armed Forces in August 1971 as part of the withdrawal of the British military from Singapore.
After the SAF vacated the camp in the 1990s, the buildings were used for commercial purposes and the site was renamed Gillman Village in 1996. The site reverted to its original name, Gillman Barracks, in 2010〔Singapore Economic Development Board. (2011). Singapore Economic Development Board calls for Expressions of Interests (EOI) for galleries to set up in Gillman Barracks extended to 26 August 2011 (release ). Retrieved October 25, 2011, from http://www.edb.gov.sg/edb/sg/en_uk/index/news/articles/sedb_calls_for_expressions_of_interest_for_galleries_to_set_up_in_gillman_barracks.html〕 and was re-developed and launched in September 2012 as a contemporary art centre.〔Poon, C. H. (2011, June 19). Home for art galleries at Gillman Barracks. The Straits Times. Retrieved October 25, 2011, from Factiva.〕
The art cluster is an effort to create vibrant arts scene in Singapore made up of public museums, commercial galleries, non-profit spaces, and major art events such as the Singapore Biennale and Art Stage Singapore.
