ART SG 2026 brings together leading international galleries and bold curatorial initiatives, reinforcing Singapore’s position as a key hub for contemporary art in Southeast Asia
ART SG, Southeast Asia’s leading international art fair, returns to Singapore from 23 to 25 January 2026. Presented by Founding and Lead Partner UBS, the fair will welcome over 100 leading galleries from more than 30 countries and territories, offering visitors a rare opportunity to experience a truly global cross-section of contemporary art in a single destination.
Showcasing galleries from major cultural centres including London, Tokyo, Paris, Johannesburg, Seoul, and New Delhi, ART SG 2026 will present works across a wide range of scales, mediums, and formats. From emerging artists to internationally recognised names, the fair is set to be a major cultural highlight for collectors, travellers, and art enthusiasts alike.
In a first-of-its-kind cultural sponsorship, ART SG 2026 will introduce new curatorial initiatives, including the TVS Initiative for Indian and South Asian Contemporary Art. This dedicated pavilion will shine a spotlight on contemporary practices from South Asia, bringing the region’s diverse artistic perspectives and cultural narratives into sharper international focus.
For the first time, the fair will also co-present S.E.A. Focus, a homegrown platform championing contemporary art from Southeast Asia. Curated by John Z.W. Tung under the theme The Humane Agency, S.E.A. Focus highlights artists as agents of compassion, responding thoughtfully to pressing global and social issues through their work.
Beyond the fairgrounds, ART SG 2026 will extend across the city through off-site programming as part of Singapore Art Week. Presented in collaboration with Rockbund Art Museum, Wan Hai Hotel: Singapore Strait will transform the lobby of The Warehouse Hotel into an immersive exhibition space, blending institutional-level curation with a hospitality experience and reinforcing Singapore’s vibrant role in the global contemporary art landscape.
