The EOS Visiting Artist Program (EOS VAP) 2012 is a pilot programme that encourages the active engagement of regional artists who are inspired by Earth Science issues. The programme offers five grants up to SGD20,000 each to regional artists towards the development, production and creation of an artwork.

The Earth Observatory of Singapore is a Research Centre of Excellence located on the campus of Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. EOS has a mission to conduct fundamental research on earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunami and climate change in and around Southeast Asia, towards safer and more sustainable societies.

An interdisciplinary jury will select up to five regional artists inspired by Earth Science. Regional artists may apply individually or with collaborators and the jury will award up to SGD20,000 per successful applicant to develop and realize their art project.
