From performance art and large-scale installations to blue-chip gallery presentations and the debut of Sea Focus within the fair, these are the standout works, sectors and moments shaping Art SG 2026.
At first glance, Art SG 2026 opens with scale. More than 100 galleries from over 30 countries and territories fill Singapore’s Sands Expo and Convention Centre at Marina Bay Sands as the fair enters its fourth edition, presented by founding and lead partner UBS. The VIP preview and vernissage signal not just another iteration, but a recalibration—one that places Southeast Asia more decisively at the centre of the global art conversation, while sharpening the fair’s international reach.
What feels new this year is not simply expansion, but texture. The inaugural co-presentation of Sea Focus within the fair collapses boundaries between regional showcase and international marketplace, bringing curatorial depth directly into the commercial heart of Art SG. At the same time, newly introduced sectors—most notably performance art—shift the fair’s rhythm, slowing its pace and inviting more embodied, durational encounters with art.
