About ART SG

ART SG launched in 2023 and has quickly become the anchor event of Singapore's January art season. The fair presents leading galleries from Asia and around the world alongside talks, special projects and prizes that spotlight emerging artists. The official website quotes press describing recent editions as some of the fair's strongest.

The fair takes place during Singapore Art Week, when museums, galleries and independent spaces across the city stage exhibitions, night events and public art. Tickets, the gallery list and the programme are on the official ART SG website.

How to get to Singapore for ART SG

Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) is one of Asia's main hubs, with direct flights from the Gulf, Egypt, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and much of the world. From Changi, the MRT, taxis, ride-hailing and pre-booked transfers reach the city centre. Travellers from Malaysia can also arrive overland via the Johor Bahru crossings.

The venue is linked to Bayfront MRT station. For a trip to Singapore for ART SG, a long weekend from Thursday to Sunday allows time for the fair and other Art Week events.

January is one of the better months to visit Singapore for culture, with Art Week events in the evenings across the Civic District, Tanjong Pagar and Gillman Barracks. Visitors can plan days at the fair and nights at gallery openings and public light installations. Comfortable shoes help, as the fair halls are large, and an MRT card makes moving between venues easy.

Where to stay

Hotels around Marina Bay, the Civic District and the CBD are closest to the fair and to Art Week venues such as the National Gallery Singapore. Bugis, Tanjong Pagar and Orchard Road are good alternatives on the MRT network. Late January is busy in Singapore because of Art Week and, in 2027, the run-up to Chinese New Year in early February, so book early.

Planning a group trip to ART SG

A group tour to ART SG suits collector circles, university art departments, design firms and corporate clients. A good programme includes one fair day, a guided visit to the National Gallery Singapore, gallery hopping at Gillman Barracks, and an evening Art Week event. Gulf and North African collectors who already visit regional art fairs may enjoy comparing Southeast Asian galleries. Agencies can arrange private guides and group tickets through official channels.
