My Art Book Fair is like my Halloween party. What to check out? Here’s my recommendations:
1️⃣ Great Topics

And don’t miss JiaZaZhi’s quirky Uluklyn (Urumqi + Brooklyn).
2️⃣ Printing Love
Silkscreen, trimming, texture — every flaw tells a story.
3️⃣ Art Zone Picks
💙 Blue Portraits Project — clear concept, sharp delivery.
✏️ HK sketches — raw, real, alive. (Zone 2!)

Attending the Singapore Art Book Fair in 2025 was a unique way to immerse myself deeper into Singapore's vibrant art scene. Beyond just browsing, I found it fascinating to engage with the printing techniques showcased—silkscreen and textured trims added a tactile dimension that felt alive. For those passionate about exploring local stories, exhibits like Benjamin-min’s portrayal of Chinatown grandpas through their cherished objects provided a touching historical narrative. One memorable discovery was JiaZaZhi’s quirky Uluklyn, a creative blend of Urumqi and Brooklyn vibes, which offered a fresh cultural mash-up that sparked thoughtful conversations. If you’re planning your visit, I’d recommend focusing on areas with strong thematic concepts like the Blue Portraits Project, which delivers art with a clear message and sharp execution. By contrast, I personally skipped the more commercialized sugary art and costly workshops, as they felt less connected to the authentic artistic spirit I was seeking. Overall, the fair is not just about viewing art—it’s a celebration of storytelling, craft, and innovative printmaking, making it an inspiring experience for both casual visitors and art aficionados alike.
