Your Guide Through Singapore Art Week, Across the City

Singapore Art Week returns from 22 to 31 January 2026, bringing ten days of exhibitions, installations, talks and public programmes across the city. With events and exhibitions happening across museums, galleries, independent spaces and public sites, the week invites audiences to move through Singapore and encounter its visual arts ecosystem in full.

It’s not centred on a single venue or district. Its strength lies in how it spreads across neighbourhoods and spaces, encouraging exploration beyond familiar routes. We have mapped out our highlights and more in the ArtRabbit app guide, which allows you to browse events, see what is nearby, and get directions between venues as you move through the week. Danielle and I are also on the ground in Singapore, covering the week, so follow along on ArtRabbit’s Instagram to see what we are up to.

Download the ArtRabbit app for easy navigation. And here are some of the things we’re looking forward to:

Singapore Biennale 2025: pure intention across the city

Spanning museums, public spaces and everyday environments, pure intention unfolds slowly across Singapore, inviting close attention to how the city has been shaped by layered histories, rituals and lived experience. As part of the SG60 moment, the Biennale reflects on shared aspirations while opening space to imagine collective futures, encouraging audiences to encounter familiar places with renewed perspective.

Visions of the Future at ArtScience Museum

This focused screening programme brings together artists and filmmakers working with science fiction, myth and indigenous knowledge to imagine futures beyond binary utopias and dystopias. Through film and discussion, Visions of the Future treats storytelling as a form of resistance, grounded in ancestral memory and speculative imagination.

Kent Chan: Three Acts of the Sun at NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore

Kent Chan’s first solo exhibition in Singapore since 2019 brings together film, performance and print to reflect on climate change through the lens of tropical imaginaries. Set against the edge of a rainforest, the exhibition allows heat and humidity to become part of the work itself, grounding speculative climate futures in embodied experience.

Reworlding at Starch

Reworlding brings together seven Asian women media artists working with virtuality, technology and digital systems after their promises have worn thin. Across video, sound, games and sculpture, the exhibition attends to breakdown, care and repair, asking how alternative digital worlds are sustained through labour, ritual and improvisation.

Rituals of Perception at New Bahru School Hall

This group exhibition turns away from speed and spectacle, focusing instead on slow, material-led practices that emphasise touch, process and presence. Bringing together works rooted in bodily knowledge and material memory, Rituals of Perception invites viewers to linger and experience time as something felt rather than measured.

City of New Ruins at Tanjong Pagar Distripark

Set within a tactile landscape of sand, concrete and light, City of New Ruins reflects on the pursuit of the Singaporean dream through the lens of speculative urban futures. Drawing on architecture, sound and moving image, the exhibition considers the emotional and ecological tensions produced by relentless development and accumulation.

ART SG 2026 at Marina Bay Sands

ART SG returns for its fourth edition, bringing together over 100 galleries from across the region and beyond. With a strong emphasis on Southeast Asian contemporary practice alongside global voices, the fair remains a focal point of Singapore Art Week, offering a concentrated space for discovery, dialogue and exchange.
