Annual ART + DESIGN Showcase
In our annual ART + DESIGN Showcase, we explore the creative possibilities of photography, 3D modelling, spatial design, animation projects, visual effects, game environments, mobile applications and interactive visual experiences. From 3D models that demonstrate the role of digital prototyping in developing and communicating ideas, to a playful mascot that brings character, humour and storytelling into virtual space, these projects reveal the breadth of contemporary digital practice.
Short Film Showcase
Every year, we organise student film showcase to celebrate some of the top films made by students in the film making course. Each film tells a unique personal story and we are reminded of the social impact found in ordinary things that people do with care. In the 2025 film showcase at Orchard Cineleisure, we presented 10 impactful films about Singaporeans chasing their dreams. The showcase is the culmination of months of creative effort and research by our students and reflects their deep appreciation of Singapore's diverse pathways to success. In 2022, our students work on the theme of sustainability and created short films for showcase in container at GreenSpace+.

VR Films Showcase
The VR films of students from MTD365 Virtual Reality Filmmaking were experienced by the community at CareTech Café in Bedok Heartbeat and Bedok North Active Ageing Centre. Some elderly especially love the “Ubin” film because it brings back fond memories of the island and some of them are now not very mobile to travel freely to Ubin to see in person.
Music Composition Showcase
In this year, music composition showcase we shared compositions produced by our students from the recent cohorts of music composition courses. A presentation was made on the development of AI music and there was a keen discussion on the influence of AI on music making going forward. There was a keen discussion on this topic from the audience.
