The MBS will be the venue for an exhibition of the works of the 30 finalists for the Sovereign Asian Art Prize (SAAP) Jan 10-13, along with 20 especially selected works by Singaporean artists. These 20 local works will be auctioned for Charity on Jan 14th. Initiated in Hong Kong in 2003, SAAP has recognized many of the most important artists in the Asia Pacific region. Last year, Singapore joined Hong Kong, Beijing and Australia as a venue when it hosted its first SAAP.
