TSL user eny_sayuri had this to say about The Arts House:
I still remember my first visit to the Arts House as a child. It was to catch a recital by my music teacher, and having heard that the place was once a site for parliamentary meetings, my inquisitive mind just could not help conjuring up images of government officials deep in debate in this refurbished concert hall all throughout the recital. "Meetings must have been such a grand affair," I'd thought, seeing the polished floors, large chandeliers and exquisitely designed pillars.
As I grew older, the Arts House soon became a regular haunt for my theatre loving friends and I, where we would sometimes drop by to catch some lesser-known foreign art films or treat ourselves to a whimsical play or two by budding local talents. Besides the building's preserved architecture and somewhat Victorian feel, which lent a cosy ambience to the event venues, it was mainly the rich cultural diversity of events offered and their frequent showcase of local talent - a relatively rare find in many local contemporary arts spaces - that left its appeal on us and had us coming back for more. It was a pity, though, that with our tight budget as students, we often had to come to a compromise on the events we could go for, though we were always spoilt for choice.
All in all, the Arts House certainly provides a unique space for both art buffs and explorers alike to be acquainted with a lesser known side of the local arts scene, and to take a quick breather from the hustle-and-bustle of city life.
