Audiences look forward to art fairs, gallery openings, exhibitions, lifestyle events, public art walks, and enriching discussions on art and culture.
Singapore Art Week also aims to galvanise the arts sector to launch innovative art and lifestyle concepts and events in conjunction with art events during this period.

First up during this period is the 2nd edition of ‘LIGHT TO NIGHT festival’, an annual urban art event that celebrates the stunning Civic District of Singapore. It explores the sensation of colour through the visual, literary and performing art forms, and transforms major cultural institutions and parks into spectacular works of art.
YANG GALLERY • Singapore also launched the highly anticipated ‘Mobile Theatre & Head in Art’ Tamen+ & DAVID David Joint Solo Exhibition featuring established Chinese contemporary art duo Tamen+ and French contemporary sculptor DAVID David from 26th January to 26th February 2018.
