FAQs

  • Sound of Art is a Singapore-based art gallery and social enterprise, incorporated in 2019. We represent emerging Asian artists and connect their work with collectors, homes, offices, hotels, and public spaces. We are a registered Singapore company (UEN 201931770W) incorporate in the year of 2019.  

    We are not a typical gallery. We invest in the stories behind each artwork, the journeys of the artists we represent, and the meaning that art can bring into people's lives — whether or not they have ever bought art before. 

  • Sound of Art was founded by a family of faith, and many of our artists draw inspiration from their beliefs. That said, our art is not exclusively religious in subject matter — in fact, most pieces are not explicitly biblical at all. We describe our work as faith-inspired: the faith of the artist informs how they see and create, rather than determining what they paint. 

    About half our clients are not Christians. What draws people to us is typically a sense of meaning and sincerity in the art — something that resonates across backgrounds. You do not need to share any particular belief to enjoy or purchase our work. 

  • We incorporated in 2019 and have been actively selling and exhibiting since 2020. Over the years we have partnered with Pontiac Land, Keppel Land, Pan Pacific Hotel Singapore, Far East Hospitality, Frasers Hospitality, HCA Hospice Care, YMCA, and others.

  • We carry a wide range of styles — from bold, expressive abstracts to detailed landscapes, heritage scenes, wildlife, and calligraphy. Most of our works are accessible and visually appealing to a general audience, not avant-garde or difficult to appreciate. We believe art should be relatable without being ordinary. 

  • Yes. All works listed as originals are one-of-a-kind, painted by the artist. We also offer canvas reproductions and fine art paper prints of selected works, clearly labelled as such, at lower price points. 

  • No. The copyright and reproduction rights of all artworks remain with the artist after sale. Purchasing an artwork gives you the right to display and enjoy it, but not to reproduce or commercialize it.

  • We represent a collective of emerging Asian artists, from local artists to artists from Malaysia, the Philippines, Mongolia, and Hong Kong. Each artist has their own story and distinct style. You can browse all our artists on the Artists page of our website. 

  • We currently have ongoing exhibitions at the following locations — no appointment needed, just walk in during mall or hotel hours: 

    • The Space Between — Millenia Walk, Space near Level 2 entrance, between Meidi-Ya and Harvey Norman. 
      9 Raffles Boulevard, Singapore 039596.  

    • EDEN: Here and Now — Fraser Residence River Promenade

      5 Jiak Kim Street, Singapore 169425

    Please note that not all our artworks are on display at any one location. If you have a specific piece in mind, message us first and we will let you know where it can be viewed, or arrange a private viewing for you. 

  • Yes. If you would like to see pieces that are not currently on display, or if you prefer a more personal consultation, we are happy to arrange a viewing by appointment. Message us on WhatsApp and we will suggest a suitable time, usually on weekdays. 

  • No. All our exhibition locations are in public spaces — shopping malls and hotel lobbies — and can be visited freely during their operating hours. However, staff are not always present on-site, so if you have questions or want a guided experience, please contact us in advance. 

  • Start by browsing our website or visiting one of our exhibitions. Pay attention to what catches your eye and, more importantly, what you feel when you look at it. Art is deeply personal. 

    When you are ready to talk, message us. We will ask a few simple questions — where the piece will go, the space dimensions, what draws you to it — and help you find something that fits. We genuinely enjoy this conversation and will not pressure you into anything. 

    We also have a New Art Buyers Guide on our website which you may find helpful. 

  • Original artworks typically range from around SGD 1,200 to SGD 4,500, with an average closer to SGD 2,500–3,000. Canvas prints start from around SGD 300. Fine art paper prints are available at lower price points. 

    Framing is quoted separately and is optional. We are happy to advise on whether framing is recommended for a particular piece. 

  • You can purchase directly through our website using a credit or debit card (processed via Stripe). Alternatively, message us on WhatsApp and we will guide you through the process. For direct purchases, we prefer PayNow or bank transfer — this means more of your payment goes directly to supporting the artist, as there is no card processing fee. We will always let you know your options without pressure. 

  • We accept PayNow, bank transfer, and credit/debit cards via Stripe. A 3% card processing fee applies to card payments. For purchases above SGD 500, we kindly encourage PayNow or bank transfer where possible, as this benefits the artist directly. 

  • Sound of Art is a registered Singapore company with over six years of operation. We have been featured in the Straits Times and on SPH Radio (ONE FM 91.3). Our exhibitions have been hosted at Pan Pacific Hotel, Millenia Walk, Frasers Hospitality properties, and other established venues. We are happy to share our UEN upon request. 

    If you have any concerns or questions before purchasing, please speak to us directly on WhatsApp. We would rather take the time to earn your trust than rush a transaction. 

  • We can hold a piece for up to three working days with a confirmed intent to purchase. Beyond that, we cannot guarantee availability as pieces may be purchased by others. If you are serious about a work, we recommend securing it promptly. 

  • You will receive an order confirmation email from us.

    For original artworks, we arrange personal delivery by one of our team, typically within two weeks. This is not just a drop-off — we take a moment to present the work to you, share more about the artist and the story behind the piece, and make sure you are happy with it in your space. We find that this makes a real difference to the experience of owning the art. 

    For prints, we arrange courier delivery. You will receive a tracking number once dispatched. 

  • Yes! A commission allows you to work with one of our artists to create something meaningful and personal — for your home, as a gift, for an office, or to mark a significant occasion. 

    We guide you through every step: helping you articulate what you want, matching you with the right artist, and managing the process from brief to delivery. 

  • Once you reach out with your idea, we will have a conversation to understand your vision, preferred style, size, and budget. We will then recommend the most suitable artist and formalise a brief. The process typically has three milestones: 

    1. Concept confirmation & payment — We agree on the concept and you make full payment. The artist begins work. 

    2. Interim review (40–60% complete) — The artist shares progress and explains the inspiration behind the choices made. You have an opportunity to give feedback on the agreed concept. 

    3. Final review (around 90% complete) — Minor refinements can be requested. The artist retains final creative discretion to protect the integrity of the work. 

  • Typically one to three months from the confirmation of concept, depending on the size and complexity of the work and the artist's schedule. We will give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout. 

  • Share it with us and we will be honest about whether it is achievable. We work with artists across a range of styles — landscapes, abstracts, calligraphy, realism — and can usually find the right match. If what you have in mind is not something we can deliver with integrity, we will tell you. 

  • Absolutely, and it is a particularly meaningful gesture. We can work around your timeline and manage the communication discreetly if needed. Many clients have commissioned pieces for weddings, milestone birthdays, new homes, and corporate gifting. 

  • Artworks displayed at our exhibitions are priced with their frames included, as shown. Artworks sold directly from our catalogue (not currently on exhibition) are typically unframed unless stated. Framing can be arranged at an additional cost. 

  • Not necessarily. Thicker-canvas works (which most of our originals are) are designed to be displayed without a frame and look clean and contemporary as they are. We will always give you our honest professional opinion on whether framing adds value to a specific piece — sometimes it does, and sometimes it is unnecessary. 

    If you do want framing, we offer a selection of styles (floater frames, classic wood frames, and more) and can show you options before you decide.

  • For original artworks, we deliver personally within Singapore at no additional charge for purchases SGD 800 and above. For purchases below SGD 800, a delivery fee of SGD 20 applies. Canvas prints and paper prints are delivered by courier; a shipping fee applies and will be shown at checkout. 

  • Yes, for original artworks and prints. International shipping involves additional logistics and cost, so please contact us directly to discuss before purchasing. We will advise on the best method and realistic costs for your country. 

  • All artworks are carefully wrapped and protected before delivery. Original canvases are bubble-wrapped and handled with care. For courier deliveries, prints are packaged securely to withstand transit.
