LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize 2026 is in its final weekend at National Gallery Singapore, closing on Sunday, 14 June 2026.
The exhibition presents 30 shortlisted artists selected from more than 5,100 submissions worldwide, with works that stretch material craft across texture, form, scale and technique.
Where And When
The showcase is staged at City Hall Wing, Level B1, Imagination Gallery. The official exhibition page lists the Singapore stop from 13 May to 14 June 2026.
This is a useful last-chance visit for anyone who has been saving the show for a quieter weekend. The gallery also notes that visitors may want to bring a jacket because the exhibition space is cold.
- Closing date: 14 June 2026.
- Venue: National Gallery Singapore, City Hall Wing, Level B1.
- Works shown: 30 shortlisted entries.
- Selection pool: more than 5,100 submissions worldwide.
Why It Is Worth The Trip
The Craft Prize is not a conventional design fair. Its strength is that the shortlisted pieces invite slow looking, especially around surfaces, weaving, vessels, forms and the way artists push familiar materials into unfamiliar states.
For Singapore audiences, the compact Imagination Gallery setting makes it possible to take in the full show without turning the outing into a half-day museum marathon.
How To Pair The Visit
If you are already in the Civic District, pair this with another National Gallery exhibition or a short walk around the Padang side of the building. The final-weekend timing also makes it a sensible indoor plan if the afternoon weather turns.
Because this is the closing weekend, it is worth going with a clear plan: start with the shortlisted works that use unfamiliar materials, then return to the pieces that reward close inspection. That keeps the visit focused even if the gallery is busier than usual.
Readers tracking art and weekend culture can compare it with other current listings in the Little Big Red Dot lifestyle archive before deciding how much time to set aside.
