Singapore Art Week to mark 15 years by taking art to streets
SINGAPORE — For 11 days next January, art in Singapore will spill out of its museums and galleries. It will light up the facade of a skyscraper in the financial district, fill the historic Padang green, ride a bus through residential neighborhoods and greet commuters at 10 subway stations. That citywide takeover sits at the heart of Singapore Art Week (SAW) 2027, which will mark its 15th edition…
Singapore's National Arts Council will celebrate the 15th edition of Singapore Art Week (SAW) from January 21 to 31, 2027, by bringing art to the streets of the city. This year, the event will mark the 60th anniversary of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), positioning Southeast Asian art and creative ties at the forefront.
The NAC, a statutory board under the Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth, will organize the event with support from the Singapore Tourism Board. Initially launched in 2013 with over 50 events, SAW has evolved into Singapore's premier visual arts event, featuring more than 100 programs across various venues. This year's edition will see art installations lighting up a skyscraper in the financial district, adorning the historic Padang green, traveling on a bus through residential neighborhoods, and greeting commuters at 10 subway stations.
