The second edition of ART SG, Southeast Asia’s leading international art fair, successfully wrapped up on Sunday, 21 January 2024, after a week of strong sales to collectors attending the fair from around the world.
As the first major art fair of the year on the international cultural calendar, ART SG attracted 45,303 visitors across four show days – hailing from Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Australia, Japan, Korea, Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan as well as Europe and the US.
Alongside 114 booth presentations by participating galleries from 33 countries and territories around the world, the show also featured a sector comprising large-scale art and installation on view around the fair (PLATFORM) and a curated film (ART SG FILM) and talks (ART SG PERSPECTIVES) program.
Visitors also experienced Singapore’s vibrant cultural scene as the city’s visual art institutions, private foundations and collections and galleries came together to stage a dynamic showcase of the visual arts for Singapore Art Week 2024.
ART SG, whose founding and lead partner is UBS and is organised by The Art Assembly, took place at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre from 19 – 21 January 2024 with a preview day on 18 January.
Magnus Renfrew, Co-Founder, ART SG said: “We are delighted by the response to the second edition of ART SG – the first major art fair of the year and a must-see on the cultural calendar. A significant number of collectors and institutions from the region and further afield attended the fair demonstrating the appeal of both the fair as well as the city’s abundant cultural offerings. Our participating galleries reported swift and robust sales at this buzzy and energetic edition. In addition, we are also proud of the city’s arts scene and how it has embraced ART SG for Singapore Art Week 2024. This year has shown once again that ART SG is able to both burnish and support Singapore’s increasingly influential role as a hub for the Indo Pacific’s growing art market and its world-class visual art ecosystems.”
