A clear sign of Singapore's vibrant visual arts ecology, S.E.A Focus is returning for its fifth showcase, and will be joined by ART SG the largest art fair to launch in the Asia-Pacific region in the last decade as the anchor events for Singapore Art Week (SAW).

Unlike South-east Asian contemporary art fair S.E.A Focus, which is commissioned by the National Arts Council and run by non-profit art practice STPI Creative Workshop & Gallery, the new entry is part of The Art Assembly, a group of major international art fairs, including Taipei Dangdai, India Art Fair, Sydney Contemporary and PHOTOFAIRS Shanghai.

Taking place from Jan 6 to 12 at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre, ART SG is presenting over 150 leading galleries from around the world, many of which are making their Singapore debut. They will be accompanied by a line-up of art installations, panel discussions, and experimental film.
