ART SG and S.E.A. Focus, two of Singapore’s most influential art platforms, are coming together for the first time next year to mount one of the most prominent art fairs in Southeast Asia.
From January 23 to 25, 2026, ART SG will be hosting its fourth edition at the Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Center in Singapore, with a VIP Preview and Vernissage on January 22. It will be co-presenting S.E.A. Focus, a leading showcase of contemporary art from Southeast Asia. With the two platforms working in tandem, the upcoming fair will include 106 galleries from over 30 countries and territories.
Both platforms, in past iterations, have honored art from multiple Filipino artists. ART SG 2025 showcased artists such as National Artist Benedicto “BenCab” Cabrera, Kristoffer Ardeña, Monica Delgado, and more. S.E.A. Focus 2025 also hosted a range of Filipino galleries, including Artinformal and Silverlens, the latter of which exhibited works by the late Pacita Abad and her nephew, Pio, who was shortlisted for the Turner Prize in 2024.
This year’s edition of the fair, themed “The Humane Agency” and curated by John Z.W. Tung, will feature Singaporean galleries such as the Singapore Tyler Print Institute, as well as regional galleries such as Manila’s The Drawing Room and Jakarta’s ISA Art Gallery. The fair will also feature a stacked lineup of installations, workshops, and discussion panels led by artists and industry figures from Southeast Asia.
“With the region’s collector base and cultural ecosystem maturing significantly,” said ART SG co-founder Magnus Renfrew in the partnership’s official announcement, “we are especially excited to welcome the debut of S.E.A. Focus at Art SG, showcasing the region’s most compelling voices in an integrated platform for galleries, artists, and institutions to connect and engage.”
Tickets for ART SG, which include entry to S.E.A. Focus, are now available online here.
