The Fair

AS SOUTHEAST ASIA’S LEADING GLOBAL ART FAIR, ART SG IS A DYNAMIC AND VISIONARY PLATFORM SHOWCASING EXCEPTIONAL CONTEMPORARY ART FROM THE REGION AND AROUND THE WORLD.

Taking place in January at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre at the heart of Singapore’s financial district, ART SG is the leading global contemporary art fair in Southeast Asia. The fair launched in 2023 and features a stellar line-up of international and regional art galleries alongside a curated program of large-scale installations, experimental film and moving image, thought-provoking panel discussions and performances.

Coinciding with Singapore Art Week, ART SG will return from 22 to 24 January 2027 (Preview & Vernissage 21 January) with an exceptional line-up of international and regional galleries, bringing progressive concepts and curation to the Singapore art landscape, delivering a fair of international standard and best practices, with a distinctive identity. The fair fosters artistic excellence and cultural dialogue across Southeast Asia and the broader Asia Pacific region. Differentiated from other art fairs, ART SG is geared towards the interests of the globally minded collector and aims to expand these interests by promoting new discourse and connections; encouraging cross-border collecting. ART SG helps galleries to broaden and deepen their networks and make an impact within the city of Singapore and the wider region.

With three different gallery sectors: GALLERIES, FOCUS and FUTURES the fair showcases high quality international content alongside distinctive Southeast Asian contemporary art practice, creating a multi-faceted place of exploration for new and established collectors.

For the first time, Southeast Asian contemporary art platform S.E.A. Focus was organised by and held at ART SG in January 2026. Curated by John Z.W. Tung, it offered a unique opportunity for visitor to engage with contemporary works by established and emerging artists from the region. The theme for the 2026 edition was The Humane Agency, which encapsulated the quiet force of Southeast Asian artists who, through image and material, extend beyond chroniclers of crises to become active participants in the difficult, necessary work of compassion.
