Visual Arts

A curatorial showcase of exhibitions by Singapore and Southeast Asian artists throughout the year.

About Visual Arts

The exhibitions at Esplanade's visual arts spaces—Jendela (Visual Arts Space), Esplanade Concourse, Esplanade Tunnel and Esplanade Community Wall—present commissioned site-specific works that undergird the centre's commitment to nurturing new work and supporting the development of long-standing projects by Singapore and Southeast Asian artists.  

 

Presented alongside the exhibitions are companion programmes like talks, guided tours and workshops, and interviews with artists on Esplanade Offstage that endeavour to lend insight to the works and artistic practices.  

 

Engage with commissioned works by Singaporean artists across four exhibitions around Esplanade.   

The 2026 Visual Arts programme will expand its focus to include an international selection of artists, bringing in perspectives and topics that reflect global concerns and collective aspirations surrounding the multifaceted theme of soil. This exploration will present a rich tapestry of artistic perspectives, moving beyond the purely aesthetic to engage with the soil's ecological, social, and cultural significance. Their works will act as catalysts for dialogue, prompting reflection on the intrinsic value of soil and its role as a source of nourishment—both literal and metaphorical—bridging cultures through a shared understanding of this fundamental element.
