Lasalle College of the Arts (stylised as LASALLE College of the Arts, Chinese: 拉萨尔艺术学院), formerly LASALLE-SIA College of the Arts, is an arts educational institution in Singapore. LASALLE College of the Arts in partnership with Goldsmiths, University of London, provides tertiary arts education. Founded in 1984 by De La Salle educator, Brother Joseph McNally, LASALLE today offers a range of diplomas and degrees in design, fine arts, film, media arts, fashion, dance, music, theatre, art therapy, Asian art histories, and arts management. LASALLE is a non-profit, private educational institution operating autonomously with financial support from the Singapore Ministry of Education. LASALLE provides both Polytechnic-level Diploma and Degree-level education. Other arts institution in Singapore is the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts.
LASALLE moved to its new home in the heart of Singapore in June 2007. Located in the Rochor area, bounded by Prinsep Street, Short Street, and Albert Street, the new City Campus sits on a one-hectare site, which is part of the area designated as the Arts, Design, Culture, Learning and Entertainment hub of Singapore.
The Winstedt campus is a new space designed as a comprehensive creative centre for studio work and research. With 4,357m2 of floor space, there are studios, workshops, state-of-the-art photography labs, a media arts lab, and student-led incubators.
