Green is the colour of the National University of Singapore's (NUS) upcoming arts festival.

The annual event will feature productions that look at the links between the arts, science and the environment.

So there will be events where scientists help children create artworks with natural materials such as plant extracts, musical shows inspired by the elements and performing arts shows driven by the environment.
