Now in its fourth edition, ART SG, Southeast Asia’s leading international art fair presented by Founding and Lead Partner UBS, opens in Singapore from 23 to 25 January 2026 at Marina Bay Sands. With over 100 exhibitors from more than 30 countries and territories, the fair expands its platform with deeper partnerships and programming, signalling a more expansive and inclusive chapter for contemporary art in the region and beyond.
This year marks the first time that S.E.A. Focus is presented within ART SG, offering a distinctive curatorial platform under the theme The Humane Agency to spotlight Southeast Asian contemporary art and artists as agents of compassion. Curated by John Tung, the platform foreground Southeast Asian contemporary art and artists as agents of care, empathy, and social imagination. Tung’s curatorial framework considers how artists respond to shared conditions of precarity, environmental urgency, and social responsibility, positioning art as an active proposition for more humane futures rather than a passive reflection of crisis.
The fair also unveils the ART SG FUTURES Prize presented by UBS to an outstanding emerging artist featured in the FUTURES sector and continues the SAM ART SG Fund for the second year, supporting acquisitions for the Singapore Art Museum’s collection of international contemporary art from a Southeast Asian perspective.
