RAW ART Singapore aims to stimulate the robustness of the Singaporean emerging art market by developing new interfaces between artists living and working in Singapore and enthusiasts new to art buying and collecting. Raw Art Singapore specializes in creating unique events which integrates art with lifestyle, catering for non-established artists as well as passionate art buyers and young collectors to-be.
