About this event
In a world increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, machine learning, and ever-present social media algorithms, the Illustration Arts Festival (IAF) 2025 stands as a much-needed sanctuary—an inspiring celebration of the human touch and the beauty of authentic, meaningful connection.
100% HUMAN-MADE ART!
As Singapore’s leading independent festival dedicated to the vibrant world of illustration, our 6th edition proudly amplifies the voices of visionary creators from across Asia and beyond. This year, we invite you to immerse yourself in the breathtaking works of over 130 extraordinary illustrators from Singapore, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, and Malaysia.
At IAF 2025, we offer more than just an art market—we invite you to step beyond the digital screen and experience creativity in its most intimate and captivating form. Every stroke, every line, and every colour tells a story that goes beyond pixels, sparking genuine connection, engagement, and appreciation for the human touch behind the art.
