Singapore Art Week 2023 (SAW 2023), the 11th edition of the country’s annual visual arts festival, is back this year from 6 – 15 January 2023. Over 130 free & ticketed art events showcasing new works and transnational collaborations will take place online as well as at various locations across the island.
The highlights of SAW 2023 include <Light to Night 2023>, an art installations and light projections programme in the civic district, and two art fairs that will be held during this period: <S.E.A Focus> – an art marketplace dedicated to showcase contemporary arts from Southeast Asia, and <ART SG> – an inaugural art fair which will present artwork by more than 1,000 artists from over 150 renowned art galleries around the world.
Organised by the National Arts Council, Singapore’s premier visual arts season brings together all players of the visual arts ecosystem, making the arts accessible to everyone, and cementing Singapore as a key arts destination in the region. It is part of ongoing efforts to champion the sustainable growth of Singapore’s art sector as part of the upcoming Our SG Arts Plan (2023-2027) to build a distinctive city, anchored by a connected society, powered by a creative economy.
