National Gallery Singapore’s Light to Night festival is making its return to the Civic District from 6 – 26 January 2023. As part of the event, you can expect a wide variety of art-meets-lifestyle activities, artworks by artists from around the world, as well as new immersive day-to-night installations.

This year, the theme, “Here and Now” calls for reflection on one’s time and the environment – an appropriate invitation to mark the new year – and draws attention to art as a platform to document and respond to one’s lived experiences.

During the festival period, visitors of National Gallery Singapore can enjoy complimentary entry on Fridays to Sundays, of which the gallery will also extend its opening hours to 11pm on the same days.
