The article explores the efforts of Singapore to become a major player in the art world in Asia. The Singapore FreePort opened in February 2010 to become a venue for nonresident art collectors and dealers to safely store and trade variables. The country also hosted several art fairs including the Art Stage Singapore and the Affordable Art Fair. Meanwhile, the third Singapore Biennale will open on March 13, 2011. The Singaporean government is also investing to transform the former City Hall and Supreme Court buildings into the National Art Gallery.
