Aliwal Urban Arts Festival 2026

Aliwal Arts Centre (AAC) will come alive on Saturday, 31 January 2026, as the Aliwal Urban Arts Festival (AUAF) returns for a high-energy celebration of urban culture in conjunction with Singapore Art Week. Organised by Arts House Group (AHG), the festival transforms Kampong Gelam into a vibrant ecosystem of art, movement and community, where street culture, creative experimentation and collective expression converge.

This year, the festival returns under the theme Symbiosis, offering a multisensory journey through immersive installations, live graffiti painting, a bustling arts market, dynamic dance and music performances, and high-energy skateboarding. Through these, AUAF 2026 invites audiences to explore, participate, and connect with artistic practices that thrive on experimentation and collaboration.
