Fans of January’s glut of art fairs in Singapore can look forward to new attractions at some of the nation’s most popular art-themed outings. Intent on drawing new first-time visitors and helping build the confidence of potential first-time collectors, three major events during Singapore Art Week are prepared to unveil new draws to their happenings.
Singapore Art Week will host Art Stage Singapore, Art Apart Fair, and Singapore Contemporary festivals. The art week itself will stretch twelve days to accommodate all of the special events, totaling nearly 100. Art exhibits, workshops, discussion panels, and much more will be on tap to appeal to all different sorts of art fans.
A new feature for Art Apart Fair and Art Stage Singapore will be highlighting works of art that belong to private collections. This is a great opportunity for art fans to see masterpieces that are normally not on display. While none of the artworks will be available for sale, visitors can at least say they saw something that other people who didn’t attend the event may never get to see again in their lifetimes. The founder of Art Stage Singapore said the decision to hold the showing of artworks in private collections after a similar event saw success at Art State Jakarta. The exhibit also plays on just how important collectors are to artists in the Southeast Asia region. While not every fan of art has the means to become a collector, they can at least enjoy art and understand what others are collecting.
The Singapore Contemporary will be giving visitors a window on the art world by hosting collections from artists from as far away as Latin America. Many such works are enjoying a surge of popularity in Southeast Asia, so giving audiences more of what they like is sure to be a crowd pleaser. The exhibit will feature photos priced to sell, giving visitors encouragement to start adding to their own burgeoning art collections. The event will also bring styles of art to people who would have not otherwise had the means to see it, broadening their horizons both culturally and artistically.
