ART SG, Southeast Asia’s leading international art fair by Founding and lead partner UBS, will return for its fourth edition from 23 to 25 January 2026 at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. For the first time, the fair will include S.E.A. Focus, a platform championing Southeast Asian contemporary art, bringing together 106 exhibitors from over 30 countries and territories. The event aims to reinforce Singapore’s status as a cultural capital and hub for artistic exchange.

The inclusion of S.E.A. Focus introduces a new curatorial theme, “The Humane Agency,” highlighting Southeast Asian artists as agents of compassion. ART SG will also launch the ART SG FUTURES Prize, presented by UBS, to recognise outstanding emerging artists. Additionally, the SAM ART SG Fund will support acquisitions for the Singapore Art Museum’s collection.

Magnus Renfrew, Co-founder of ART SG, expressed excitement about the fair’s growth and the debut of S.E.A. Focus, stating, “We are delighted to present the fourth edition of ART SG, which continues to grow as the leading platform for contemporary art in Southeast Asia and beyond.”

The event will feature prominent international galleries such as White Cube and Thaddaeus Ropac, alongside regional galleries like Richard Koh Fine Art and Gajah Gallery. Newcomers include Castelli Gallery and Ashvita’s, expanding the fair’s international scope.

Visitors can expect an expanded programme of events during Singapore Art Week, enhancing the cultural experience. The fair aims to strengthen connections between artists, collectors, and the global art community, offering a comprehensive view of Southeast Asia’s vibrant contemporary art scene.
