SAM is committed to sharing the transformative power of contemporary art with the widest possible audiences. Your generosity will go a long way in helping SAM create more meaningful exhibitions, events and programmes to spark a lifelong interest in art.
giving
Beyond presenting thought-provoking exhibitions, SAM makes art accessible through various community programmes and has built one of the world's most important collections of Southeast Asian artworks.
We keep most of the exhibitions and events free for the Singaporean public.
As SAM is a nonprofit charity with an Institution of a Public Character (IPC) status. We rely on the good will of our supporters in championing our mission and vision.
Any contribution, large or small, goes a long way in supporting the arts, artists, and public access to exhibitions of international repute. Scroll down to learn more on how you can give.

'Museums have always had a barrier for people with vision impairments. Historically, everything has been “See, Don’t Touch!” As I lost my eyesight over the years, this obstacle has become ever more important. Today, initiatives like the SAM Touch Collection allow me to appreciate artistry just as much as everyone else.' - Joshua Tseng

'Covid-19 has affected the seniors mood and emotions and we had to learn to handle and bring them through these emotions.
Through Seniors & the Contemporary art seniors were able to talk about and express their feelings though art. It also helped reminisce about the past and remind them not to focus on negative emotions.
It was fulfilling to see the seniors have something to look forward to.'

Our programmes aim to remove barriers of inaccessibility to the arts. These includes mental and physical disabilities, and the lack of facilitation. We partner with other non-profit organisations and schools to offer free or reduced-cost opportunities to underserved communities with the vision that anyone can engage with the arts. |
Our exhibitions present art of our times through a Southeast Asian lens. Through our exhibitions we hope to encourage dialogue on contemporary issues that may be overlooked. We aim to inspire humane and sustainable futures through transformative, thought-provoking everyday encounters with art of our times. |
Our commissions enable local and regional artists to advance their practice and push boundaries. SAM also acquires works that are salient to the national and contemporary dialogue and cares for the works through meticulous preservation – ensuring access for future generations to come. |
Designed to engage both the art community and the public at large, SAM Residencies actively involves local communities through a diverse line up of resident-organised activities such as open studio visits, talks, and workshops. For the art community, it serves as an incubator for exploring new approaches in artistic and curatorial practices. |
