Singapore Gallery Month, which will take place from 15 August to 13 September 2026, has announced its full programme of more than 100 exhibitions and events.
The annual festival is presented by the Art Galleries Association Singapore (AGAS), and is a citywide occurrence platforming both local and international contemporary art. This year’s iteration is aimed at offering opportunities for collectors of varying scales and experience beyond simply acquisitions; including relationship-building, developing confidence and increasing knowledge.
Exhibitions highlights include The Private Museum’s Shadows, Signals, and the Line: Abstract Expressionism in Singapore, FOST Gallery’s expansive show of Singaporean artists The Lie of the Land and ShanghART’s Taiki Sakpisit: 13 Nightmares.
Events include an ‘art after hours’ extended opening at Tanjong Pagar Distripark, a series of guided tours led by artist and curator Daniel Chong and a series of interactive experiences aimed at families.
