Singapore Art Week 2026: A Citywide Celebration for SG60
Fourteen years in, the January festival expanded to over 100 exhibitions and events across the island.
Singapore Art Week's 14th edition ran from 22 to 31 January 2026, transforming the city into a stage for more than 100 exhibitions, installations and public programmes from local and international artists, galleries and institutions. Coinciding with SG60 celebrations, the festival offered what organisers framed as a moment to reflect on Singapore's milestones while imagining collective futures, engaging sites ranging from colonial landmarks and green spaces to residential neighbourhoods and social hubs.

Focus returned as the week's key regional platforms, while Light to Night Singapore ran concurrently in the Civic District. With the Singapore Biennale continuing through the same period, the week functioned less as a single festival and more as a coordinated citywide calendar spanning museums, commercial galleries and public installations alike.
