Write a New Narrative

A better future for freelance creatives

About VICPA

The Visual, Audio, Creative Content Professionals Association (Singapore), otherwise known as VICPA, was formed in July 2021 to champion the interests of Singapore’s growing pool of freelance creative professionals. We advance the professional interests and work prospects of our members through advocacy, work advisory and community.

Today, a lack of industry standards has contributed to an undervaluation of creative services. VICPA strives to level up professionalism of creative practitioner-members through a professional code of ethics, and to raise awareness among clients on how to value and procure creative works and their copyrights at fair rates through industry-wide collaborations.

Read on to find out how VICPA is working to write a new narrative and build a better creative industry for all.
