2025 marks a significant milestone for National Gallery Singapore as it celebrates its 10th Anniversary – a decade of making art accessible to all. Among the many activities planned for this landmark year, one highlight stands out: the Gallery Gala. A biennial fixture on Singapore’s philanthropic calendar, the Gala raises vital funds to support the Gallery’s vision of building a thoughtful, creative, and inclusive society through art. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Gan Kim Yong will grace the evening as Guest of Honour.
This year’s gala, titled A Decade of Imagination, takes place on 13 September 2025 at the Gallery. For the first time, guests will dine within the exhibition galleries – a rare opportunity to experience these iconic spaces in an entirely new way. The evening’s programme features a world-class dinner curated by some of Singapore’s most celebrated chefs, including Michelin-starred Julien Royer of Odette, “godfather of Singapore Heritage Cuisine” Damian D’Silva, and Peranakan chef and restaurateur Violet Oon, who will be cooking live. Guests will also participate in a Sotheby’s-managed charity auction of rare luxury experiences and 70 exceptional fine artworks, including pieces by Yayoi Kusama, Fernando Zóbel, Liu Kang, and Heman Chong, offering patrons a chance to enrich both their collections and their lives.
This year, the Gallery aims to raise its highest fundraising total in a decade. All proceeds from seats, auction items, and donations will go towards making art accessible to all, from blockbuster exhibitions to festivals to programmes for seniors, children, and underserved communities.
