Natalie Ling

Natalie is an arts manager and practitioner with a background in the performing arts. As a performing artist, she coordinated and conceptualised over 50 institution-level musical productions involving 90 performers.

Natalie's stint at The Private Museum saw her help to realise two major exhibitions – Kumari Nahappan’s Dancing with the Cosmos and Andy Yang and Ian de Souza's Rhythmic Resonance – as well as the museum’s inaugural opening ceremony. Nahappan’s exhibition garnered over 800 visitors across the exhibition duration, while Yang and de Souza’s exhibition received support from the Australian High Commission. Natalie also bolstered the museum’s fundraising efforts through the Charity Golf and Annual Gala 2023, where she led volunteer management efforts and social media outreach.

Her interests lie in institutionalising private collections, the study of museums as actors in transforming the arts and culture landscape in Singapore, and how museums can act as fora to spearhead change in Singapore.
