Art Stage Singapore is a meeting point for the movers and shakers of the Asian Art market. It provides an avenue for dynamic dialogue between collectors, artists, curators, galleries and art aficionados.  Art Stage embraces Singapore’s unique position as a bridge between the East and the West in a celebration of both emerging new regional artists and international names. With over 100 galleries exhibiting, there will also be a lecture series featuring renowned art industry professionals, various fringe programmes, and art-centred activities during the four fair days. Art in Context Art Stage Singapore supports and defends the interests of Asian artists and galleries by elevating them to a level of international importance, by positioning them as strong and competitive players in the global market. The Asian galleries are juxtaposed against carefully selected Western galleries which will complement and not conflict.
