"This is a strategic arrangement designed to enhance S.E.A. Focus's prominence and strengthen its value propositions,"
"provides expanded market access and networks by bringing Art SG's significantly larger visitor numbers"
"cement both platforms as a mega-anchor for SAW, expanding opportunities for Singapore to grow the Southeast Asian art market on a global scale."
"creating an expanded and integrated experience."
S.E.A. Focus will be managed by Art SG and relocate from Tanjong Pagar Distripark into the Marina Bay Sands complex. Emi Eu will remain involved as artistic consultant and John Tung will continue as curator for the 2026 edition. Both fairs are scheduled for 23 to 25 January 2026 and will offer single-ticket admission to create an integrated visitor experience. The move is intended to provide expanded market access by bringing Art SG's larger international visitor base, including collectors and industry professionals, to S.E.A. Focus. Organizers present the combined event as a mega-anchor for SAW and a way to grow Southeast Asia’s art market globally. The relocation also removes a prior logistical issue, since the two platforms had been a 30-minute drive apart. Arts Ecosystem Group highlighted S.E.A. Focus's growth from tents at Gillman Barracks to its current scale.
