Affordable Art Fair is the first international art fair to go back in Singapore after 3 years of hiatus due to the pandemic. With over 75 local and international galleries exhibiting 1000s of original contemporary artworks, Affordable Art Fair welcomes you back to the art marketplace.
Established by Will Ramsay in 1999, the Affordable Art Fair is the world’s largest art fair for affordable contemporary art. It was his goal to make contemporary art accessible to all, and to show that you don’t need to be an art expert or a millionaire to enjoy and buy it.
Over the years, the Affordable Art Fair has become a leading showcase for contemporary art. The fair is held in numerous countries around the world.
It features various types of arts from oil paintings, pop culture paintings, sculptures, and limited edition prints to fit any space, taste, or budget.
Approximately 75% of the contemporary art on display will be priced under $7,500 at the F1 Pit Building auction.
The Affordable Art Fair makes art accessible and welcoming to all new and established art lovers and collectors and ensures that everyone can experience the joy of collecting art.

Featured Art Collectors Advices
Choose pieces that speak to you and spark joy in you.
Choose pieces that speak to you and spark joy in you. What you place on the artwork determines its value. Each person has a different taste in art, so there is no right or wrong. Your decision may be based on how the piece makes you feel – the emotions it stirs up; or it might be based on its story.
As long as the artwork speaks to you, it doesn’t matter whether the artist communicates that story verbally in a fair interaction or through the artwork itself. If the artist happens to be around, take time to speak with him/her.
- From Janice Tan, Architect / Urban Designer
You have to be able to connect with the artwork
Work must speak to you personally. Trends and what’s in are easy to get caught up in nowadays, especially with social media and transience. Timeless pieces that make you feel happy and tell your own story will never go out of style. Whether your friends appreciate it or not, it has to be personal.
- From Christopher Chua and Nicolas Laville, Co-founder and Creative Director of KulorGroup (Hospitality and Interior Design Consultancy)
The one you find appealing is the one you should purchase
You should purchase art that appeals to you and you think you’ll still love 20 years from now!
- From Heather Riley, Business Owner of Diva Productions
Art that speaks to you emotionally is the best art to buy!
It’s important for the artwork to speak to you; the ones you are drawn to are those that resonate with you emotionally – the medium, colors, materials used, but all in all, it should make you happy. A lot of money should not be spent on art if you don’t enjoy it!
For those who are looking to buy or collect art, Affordable Art Fair Singapore is definitely the place to be!
- From Laura Lim, Deputy Director in Public Service
