Initially called Worlds Apart Fair in January 2013, the success of the fair encouraged a second edition, later renamed as Art Apart Fair as part of a series of "Apart Fairs".Art Apart coincides with Singapore Art Week, an initiative launched by the National Arts Council, alongside with the Singapore Tourism Board and Singapore Economic Development Board.The fairs take place twice biannually – during January and July – in Singapore. Art Apart made its international debut in London in October 2014 at the Town Hall Hotel. It will be setting its stage in New York in October 2016.Art Apart Fair serves as a platform to provide support towards emerging artists with the potential to become established. The fair gives artists the opportunity to showcase their works and gain recognition among art lovers and collectors. In January 2014, some 33 galleries and 1,500 artists’ work from countries such as Taiwan, China, Australia, Kazakhstan, Croatia, Japan, Vietnam, Austria, Cambodia, South Korea, Russia, Spain and Germany, were featured.Some of the galleries that have exhibited with Art Apart are South Korea’s Seoul Arts Centre, Shanghai’s Nancy Gallery, Madrid’s Jorge & Fernando Alcolea Gallery and Russia’s Gallery 11.12.In comparison to other art fairs, Art Apart focuses on selecting galleries with emerging artists with a possibility of becoming established in their national or international market.Due to the high costs of exhibiting at art fairs and the presence of many artists struggling to succeed financially, there is an “Adopt An Artist” initiative, where a Patron of the Arts and sponsors help to fund these artists. Galleries that are invited to showcase new works at Art Apart also help support the emerging artists by paying for the exhibiting fee. Works have to be new and not shown at other art fairs before.Besides providing support for emerging artists, part of the revenue generated from the sales of art works and tickets goes towards helping the young and elderly in Singapore. One of the beneficiaries includes Halogen Foundation (Singapore), an educational charity that helps to develop young leaders and entrepreneurs. Another beneficiary is the Lions Befrienders Service Association, Singapore’s largest direct service voluntary welfare organization, that assists the elderly and helps them engage with the community."@en }
