MAD – Museum of Art & Design – relocated to a grand new venue, a move which paves the way for even bolder ventures from what has already proven to be an innovative space for art and design in Singapore. The opening exhibition features eighteen established and emerging artists from all over the world, making it a major art and cultural exchange event, and a fitting start to this exciting new chapter.
Host for the evening – FOX Sports presenter Ms Natalia Tang
The award-winning MAD is Singapore’s first private museum, and in only five years has developed quite a reputation for itself as offering some of the most refreshing line-ups of events and exhibitions celebrating the best of art, design, and life. In its new location in the 19,000 square foot, two-storey mega gallery in the heart of Orchard at Tanglin Road, MAD will continue to provide an environment conducive to endless creativity and change, and a nurturing space where ideas and new art concepts are generated and formed.
The coming year promises a diverse programme of shows, exhibitions, events, workshops, talks and more. With amenities such as a merchandise store, sculpture garden, exclusive cigar bar and lounge, and café, the museum is now more than ever a must-go destination for arts and culture, a good spot for leisure, as well as a great venue for events and launches.
