Whether you consider yourself part of the visual arts community, a casual art enthusiast or just new to art in general, there’s surely something for everyone to enjoy at Singapore Art Week. This year, take your pick from over a hundred programmes that shine the spotlight on Southeast Asian art. Spread across 10 days are art fairs, exhibitions, guided tours, workshops, performances and more taking place at various locations and online. Highlights in the calendar include contemporary art showcases ART SG and S.E.A Focus, plus walking art trails that’ll take you to places like Bras Basah, Moonstone Estate and the Jurong Innovation District. There’s also Nafasan Bumi, an exhibition by Indonesian artists Elia Nurvista and Bagus Pandega, that uses multimedia and sculptural works to examine the environmental toll of economic growth in the age of the climate crisis.
Over at Kampong Gelam, Aliwal Urban Arts Fest makes a vibrant return with immersive installations that combine street art with music, urban dance and skate culture. The annual family-friendly event also offers ticketed workshops on hip-hop, theatre, Chinese opera, classical Japanese dance and odissi. Meanwhile, *SCAPE’s youth-focused art festival COMMA presents emerging talent responding to its 2026 theme, “Softer Systems”, which centres on empathy and care within the creative practice.
