ART SG: A Leading International Art Fair in Singapore
-
The art fair has been growing in popularity over the years, with a focus on promoting art across the region.
-
Its strategic positioning within Art Assembly’s portfolio of regional fairs is to serve a different audience and broaden the audience mainly in Southeast Asia.
Growing the Local Collector Base
-
Many high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) in Singapore require mentorship and education to navigate the art industry with confidence.
-
ART SG is teaming up with London’s Delfina Foundation for talks aimed at fostering effective collecting and philanthropic practices among HNWIs in Singapore.
Fostering the Next Generation of Art Professionals
-
The fair is partnering with Art Outreach (Singapore) to train young talent, offering hands-on opportunities to those eager to gain experience in the international art world.
-
This partnership has been a linchpin in training young talent and connecting people within the industry.
Promoting Art Across the Region
-
ART SG wants to provide visitors from outside Southeast Asia with the opportunity to learn about the different cultural scenes of Southeast Asia.
-
The fair is also focused on promoting art across the region, rather than just in Singapore.
Singapore’s Unique Positioning
-
Singapore’s unique history and cultural exchange make it a cosmopolitan linchpin between India and China.
-
Its neutrality amid rising U.S.-China tensions makes it an attractive location for international collaborations.
Overall, ART SG is committed to growing the local collector base, fostering the next generation of art professionals, and promoting art across the region. With Singapore’s unique positioning as a hub for cultural exchange, the fair has a strong foundation for success in the years to come.
