In order to rally the art industry and support young galleries during the current financial climate, the 9th edition of ARTSingapore is creating a special exhibition area “NEW FINDS” to showcase emerging artists or artists who are still in the process of establishing their career. We believe it is also catering to demands from art lovers to provide an opportunity for everyone to discover new artists and celebrate ART!
ARTSingapore invites you to participate in “New Finds” – a showcase of artists at ARTSingapore 2009 to raise their profile and introduce them to Singapore, Asia and the rest of the world. For artists, it is an opportunity to develop your artistic agenda or portfolio. Applications are subjected to vetting and curatorial assessment. An acceptance letter will be sent once your application is approved.
Please send your enquiry with your profile to info@artsingapore.net
An International Forum for Contemporary Photography 
9 – 12 October, 2009
Suntec Singapore Convention Centre
ARTSingapore will celebrate this October with its first Asia International Photography Fair (AIPF) poised to show the diversity of contemporary photography as artistic form within the scope of major contemporary art. AIPF will be devoted to the photographic art genre, which demonstrates that this once denigrated art is now part of the mainstream.
This International photography fair will take place in conjunction with ARTSingapore 2009. The project is specifically produced to meet the demands of a specialised market on art photography and intends to act as an engine to develop cultural, leisure and business activities in this new area. This would make AIPF an artistic meeting point for both photography enthusiasts and art collectors in Asia Pacific.
AIPF seeks to bring together contemporary art galleries & studios devoted to photography. Applications would be vetted and chosen by a committee depending on their artistic trajectory and their contributions towards the photographic scene.
Mark your diary to visit ARTSingapore in October and check out the AIPF section.
