Complimentary for less than two weeks, those who enjoy viewing art in a brand new space should try to make the visit before entrance charges are introduced, and to be a part of a new cultural experience.
The national gallery will feature historical Asian art as well as modern masterpieces from artists in Singapore itself as a part of a pair of permanent installations. The gallery acts as a perfect place to host such artwork, the architecture and design indoors a marriage of clean modern lines with classical columns, facades and more.
From November 27 to November 29, the national gallery will host a festival to mark its opening, featuring performances, screenings, interactive events, and much more. All are welcome to experience the special party to celebrate a brand new venue for experiencing artwork pertinent to the region and beyond. Attendees can also expect to enjoy guided tours through the new exhibits and discussions on the artworks’ importance in the creative world. Ahead of the festival, visitors to the gallery can also attend panels discussing the contributions of Singaporean and other Asian art to the rest of the art world.
The CEO of Singapore’s national gallery, Chong Siak Ching, says that the gallery’s opening will be one facet of the cultural celebrations surrounding Singapore’s 50th birthday. She added that she hopes the new exhibit space will both continue an interest in art from around the region and spark a wider interest in creativity as a whole. Art is a wonderful way for people to learn more about the world around them — and about the world contained inside themselves, as well, she said.
Minister Lawrence Wong agreed on the importance of the new artistic space the national gallery will have to offer. Though it coincides as one of the many events marking Singapore’s 50th birthday, it will also serve as a shining jewel for decades to come, continuing to make a positive contribution for Singapore’s art enthusiasts for many more birthdays for the country.
