About the organization
The Singapore Art Museum (SAM) is a leading institution dedicated to contemporary art from Singapore and Southeast Asia. Established in 1996, SAM has evolved into a vital platform for artistic production, research, and discourse, with a particular emphasis on the region's dynamic cultural landscape. Its mission is to connect audiences with contemporary art through exhibitions, publications, and residencies that foster critical engagement and cross-cultural dialogue. SAM's Research Residencies, offered for 2027–2028, exemplify its commitment to supporting in-depth research and creative development, providing artists and researchers with time, space, and resources to advance their practices within a supportive institutional framework.
