11 Best Art Galleries in Singapore (2026)

Singapore's gallery scene runs from the converted barracks at Gillman Barracks to a riverside print workshop, a photography charity and a college exhibition space. This list brings together eleven art galleries that welcome visitors, covering contemporary, Southeast Asian and photography programmes, plus both commercial and non-profit models. Each entry draws on what the gallery's own website says, so descriptions are attributed rather than judged, and exhibitions change often. Use the area notes to group visits sensibly, check current opening days on each site before travelling, and treat the list as a starting point for your own gallery-hopping rather than a ranking. Museums are covered on a separate page.

STPI is a print and paper workshop that also runs a public gallery at Robertson Quay. On its website it describes itself as a workshop and a gallery that collaborates with leading artists to extend their practice through print and paper, and it presents itself as a non-profit within the national visual arts cluster. The gallery side stages exhibitions, talks and public programmes that connect workshop projects with visitors, and its homepage lists a current solo show by Indonesian artist Eko Nugroho alongside hands-on sessions such as Arty Afternoon. That pairing of finished artworks and the making process suits anyone curious about how contemporary pieces come together. Check its site for current opening days, programme dates and how to join a workshop before you go.

Gajah Gallery sits in Tanjong Pagar Distripark rather than at Gillman Barracks, which makes it a different kind of trip from the arts precinct. Its website says the gallery is dedicated to the representation, promotion and exhibition of Southeast Asian artists on the local and international stage.

It states weekday opening hours, with slightly shorter weekend and public holiday hours, and publishes a general email address and phone number for enquiries. As with most commercial galleries, the display changes regularly, so look at the exhibitions page and its Instagram account for what is on, and confirm times before you travel.
