The Arts House at the Old Parliament will once again transform into a vibrant literary playground as VERSE 2026 returns from 9 to 31 January 2026. As a dynamic platform for partnerships and new voices, VERSE 2026 champions independent producers, community groups and emerging writers. Organised by Arts House Group, this year’s edition features more than 15 programmes – including two exciting commissions – and brings together over 18 partners across fully accessible venues, ensuring VERSE remains open to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Continuing to reimagine how literature is experienced, VERSE blends text, sound, movement and visual art in unexpected ways. Held in conjunction with Light to Night 2026 by National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Week 2026, VERSE amplifies its reach and impact across the Civic District, opening the year’s literary arts calendar with a bold multi-sensory celebration of Singapore literature.
