minimArt  is a platform dedicated to young contemporary artists, to showcase original fine art works ranging from paintings, sculptures, photography, installation, performance and other forms of contemporary practices.

All works experimented, installed and showcased are for sale under $1,000.

This is an event organised by artists for artists in Singapore! It aims to contribute to the development in local artistic practice - particularly that of young contemporary artists - by encouraging constant production of art among Singapore artists. It also hopes to plant the seed of collecting local art among art enthusiasts by its offer of affordable artworks. (Read more about the objectives of the event below)

The first minimArt was held in July 2011. The subsequent editions happened in April and October 2012 and March 2013.

minimArt 5.0 is set for 25 and 26 January 2014 at The Substation (www.substation.org).

minimArt is co-presented with The Substation.
