ART SG will be launching its inaugural edition in January 2023! This is Southeast Asia's largest-ever art fair and Asia Pacific's biggest art fair launch in a decade. The new international art fair for Singapore and Southeast Asia will be bringing together over 150 leading galleries from around the world to Singapore on 12 - 15 January 2023. Presented by Founding and Lead Partner UBS and organised by The Art Assembly, ART SG offers a meeting point in Southeast Asia for collectors around the world to convene in one of the most dynamic cultural landscapes globally. This marks the launch of the first fair of such scale and international significance in the region. Singapore has developed a dynamic cultural scene as a key hub within the Southeast Asia region and is home to some of the fastest-growing economies in the world. As a gateway to the region, Singapore is a nexus for the region's extensive and knowledgeable collector base to connect with artists, curators, and cultural stakeholders. Co-timed with Singapore Art Week, ART SG will be a critical meeting point for international galleries and collectors.
Across ART SG, visitors will be able to see exceptional artworks from the region and worldwide across four sectors. In addition to the main GALLERIES sector, ART SG will present three other sectors: FOCUS, a contextualised sector featuring galleries presenting solo or duo artist programmes or curated thematic presentations; FUTURES, a sector dedicated to supporting young galleries under the age of six years, presenting specially created presentations for ART SG; and REFRAME, for galleries presenting art that is engaged with, made, or presented using digital technology, which includes digital painting, animation, immersive installations, augmented or virtual reality, and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
