Singapore's vibrant artistic community is gearing up for an exciting event that will captivate art lovers and collectors from around the world. The Singapore Art Gallery Weekend, which will take place from September 15 to October 1, 2023, will coincide with major events such as the Grand Prix, TOKEN2049, and Singapore Design Week. This annual gathering, organised by the Art Galleries Association Singapore (AGAS), pays tribute to Singapore's diverse range of art and cultural manifestations.
This year's edition has a major attraction: a retrospective of the renowned Nanyang School artist Cheong Soo Pieng, whose indelible imprint on Singapore's art history is generally acknowledged. Individual showcases will also be held by well-known artists such as Natee Utarit, a leading painter in Southeast Asia; Brandon Tay, a recent standout in digital arts; and Hazel Lim, a highly acclaimed designer known for her work in crafts and design. The Private Museum will celebrate the opening of its new location on Wilkie Road with a solo exhibition of Kumari Nahappan's works. Furthermore, at the Arts House, a GPSS 2023 (F1 Grand Prix) official feature, an exhibition featuring ten artists' upcycled art made from floodlights that previously illuminated the Formula 1 Night Race takes front stage.
