Who We Are
STPI is a workshop and a gallery that collaborates with the leading artists of our time to expand their practices through the mediums of print and paper.
Every project begins with our artist residency programme at the Workshop, supported by our world-class team of specialists through a collaborative process. Experimental, challenging and generative, our residencies push the boundaries of traditional printmaking and often result in significant new bodies of work.
Our gallery brings our projects into dialogue with the community through year-round exhibitions, talks, public programmes and art fairs. Major works made at STPI’s workshop are placed in important public and private collections around the world, while limited editions provide our audiences more accessible ways to engage with and collect art.
STPI is a non-profit organisation that sits alongside National Gallery Singapore and Singapore Art Museum as part of the national Visual Arts Cluster.
