From avant-garde exhibitions pushing the boundaries, to classic masterpieces steeped in tradition, art galleries stand as bastions of creativity. Whether you’re an art enthusiast looking for some new pieces to add to your collection, igniting some new inspiration or hunting for your next romantic date idea, why not traverse through the hallowed halls of Singapore‘s finest art spaces? Head down.
But reports of slow sales by some galleries raised the question over whether Singapore is ready to join Hong Kong and Seoul to lead the region's art market.
Singaporean artists to have on your radar Share
As the recent Singapore Art Week has shown us, the local art landscape is a rich and diverse one.
There is a multitude of Singaporean artists to be discovered, including painters that draw from traditions of past art movements; conceptual artists that tackle social issues such as marginalisation and class politics; and digital creators that blur the lines between fantasy and reality.
What’s just as exciting is the support that have buoyed these emerging creatives as of late. Take Creative Unions, for example. The month-long programme, currently held at Funan Mall, has selected an array of Singapore artists to team up with brands across fashion, food, lifestyle and more. And let’s not forget the efforts of independent galleries like Cuturi Gallery and Coda Culture, which can be credited to putting these young talents in the spotlight in the first place.

Private members club The Straits Clan has partnered up with The Artling to launch a residency programme for its Creative Studio programme, featuring four Singaporean artists: Tiffany Loy, Masuri Mazlan, Dawn Ang (a.k.a Aeropalmics) and Andre Wee. The inaugural Creative Studio will form part of the Straits Clan Arts Programme, which aims to provide a unique platform for local artists and designers to come together and hone their craft over a four-month period. The artists will work from a studio space at The Straits Clan – and the new works will be exhibited at the club at the end of the residency period.
