On the new public art trust, SMU Visiting Assistant Professor of Arts and Culture Management (Practice) Tan Wee Lit notes that the Government will take on an active role in commissioning public art, unlike before when "public art was mostly made possible by corporations for their own developments". Prof Tan has a public sculpture in Raffles Place Park, commissioned by real estate developer City Developments Limited (CDL) after he won its biennial Singapore Sculpture Award in 2007.
