Civic District

  • Art

From January 19 to February 8, 2024, the annual affair Light to Night Singapore will return once again to illuminate the Civic District, this time in the theme Reimagine. Presented by National Gallery Singapore, this year’s edition entails over 60 exciting artworks and programmes scattered across these art destinations: National Gallery Singapore, Asian Civilisations Museum, Victoria Theatre and Concert Hall, The Arts House, Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, and Funan.

In the spirit of 2024’s running theme, Reimagine, the festival’s exciting installations and programmes are designed to encourage the audience to do away from their preconceived notions of art and to relook at it from a fresh perspective. Artists are also challenged to reimagine their crafts to create something new. 

Admission to the festival is free. During this period, National Gallery Singapore will extend its opening hours until 11pm during weekends from Friday to Sunday. The gallery will also offer free entry to all its exhibitions.
