ART SG 2026 Returns to Marina Bay Sands
Southeast Asia's largest contemporary art fair welcomed over 100 galleries from more than 30 countries.
ART SG's fourth edition ran from 23 to 25 January 2026 at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre, with UBS returning as founding and lead partner and more than 100 international galleries from over 30 countries taking part.
The fair's structure split exhibitors across three sectors: Galleries, for established dealers presenting curated modern and contemporary selections; Futures, for emerging galleries with smaller booths and a new US$10,000 prize for outstanding emerging artists; and Focus, dedicated to solo and duo presentations offering deeper dives into individual practices. Running concurrently with the broader Singapore Art Week programme, ART SG has steadily built its case as Southeast Asia's answer to Art Basel Hong Kong smaller in scale, by its own attendance figures, but increasingly central to the region's January art calendar.
