Mae Anderson is the chairman of Art Outreach, a non-profit dedicated to promoting art appreciation in Singapore and strengthening networks in the local art ecosystem. Under her leadership, Art Outreach has evolved from an arts-focused supplement to the local primary-school curriculum that equips young students with visual-literacy and cultural-awareness skills into supporting and connecting diverse stakeholders in the arts community.

Art Outreach now offers a wide range of art programmes to children, parents and communities, as well as working to help practitioners sustain careers in the arts by offering financial support and professional development opportunities.

Anderson is also the head of philanthropy services, Asia at BNP Paribas Wealth Management, where she designs strategies to implement clients’ philanthropic ambitions. She is a trusted leader in the Singapore arts community, and has contributed to numerous national art initiatives.

Through her work, Anderson has built a foundation for a cohesive arts ecosystem with the collective potential to amplify uniquely Singaporean voices on the global stage.
