Now in its second edition, the Art Outreach Summit is an annual professional development workshop for artists, curators and arts workers in Singapore, held over two days during Singapore Art Week. Selected on merit and at no cost to participants, the Summit offers a focused programme of portfolio reviews, faculty presentations and breakout discussions on issues shaping the contemporary art landscape.

With an emphasis on mentorship, networking and skill development for mid-career practitioners, the 2026 edition brought together a distinguished faculty of international and local institution leaders: Alessio Antoniolli, Zoe Butt, Dr. Sook-Kyung Lee, Dr. Zoé Whitley, Dr. Adele Tan and Ho Tzu Nyen. Through their guidance, participants gained access to critical expertise drawn from across Africa, Asia, Europe and beyond.

As organiser of the Summit, Art Outreach draws directly on its position as an arts intermediary to address a tangible gap in the professional development landscape for practitioners in Singapore. By removing financial barriers to participation and convening world-class faculty in an intimate, rigorous setting, the Summit reflects Art Outreach's commitment to nurturing the next generation of arts professionals, strengthening the ecology of artistic practice in Singapore, and creating meaningful connections between local practitioners and the global arts community.
