A contextualised sector for galleries featuring tightly focused and curated programs, which emphasise the development of artistic practices, the exploration of different mediums, especially digital art and new media, and emerging to mid-career artists.
A Focus sub-sector, Focus First supports new exhibitors. First-time participants at ART SG may present up to three artists within a 30 sqm booth. Proposals for curated or thematic presentations must be submitted at the time of application.
