M Art Foundation and director Zong Han will showcase an exhibit that focuses on M Art's "guiding principles and thematic concerns."

Delfina Foundation and director Aaron Cezar, on the other hand, will platform various programs with ART SG about philanthropy, collecting, and establishing private foundations.

Lastly, Art Outreach will organize a visual arts summit that brings together art experts under one roof.

According to ART SG co-founder Magnus Renfrew, Singapore being at the heart of Asia makes it an important location for galleries to expand their reach.

"With its strategic location, role as a regional hub, and dedication to cultivating a multi-faceted art scene, the city serves as a gateway to this expanding art market," Renfrew said in a press release. "ART SG, alongside our valued partners share a drive to support Singapore’s vision of becoming a unique cultural and artistic powerhouse that increasingly captivates global audiences."
