The new DECK will house three galleries, a blackbox theatre, a photobook library, a bookstore, and an F&B establishment. It will be anchored permanently at 120A Prinsep Street within an eclectic neighbourhood surrounded by art schools, co-working spaces, residential quarters, strata malls and places of worship.
