Adopt a Gallery Bench

Following its 10th anniversary, National Gallery Singapore has reimagined its iconic two-block logo, rooted in the architecture of the former Supreme Court and City Hall, as functional benches for people to sit, gather and connect. In January 2026, ten sets of Gallery Benches will be placed at iconic locations across Singapore, before returning to the Gallery in February 2026 as resting spots for visitors.

These iconic Gallery Benches are now available for adoption individually or as a pair. By adopting a bench, your generosity will support our work to make the arts accessible for all. All adopters will receive recognition through a customised donor plaque.

The Gallery Benches Adoption Programme

This programme invites donors to support the Gallery’s mission of creating accessible and welcoming spaces for all. Through this initiative, individuals and organisations may adopt the Gallery Benches, contributing directly to visitor comfort, community enjoyment, and the enhancement of shared public spaces. Adopters will receive:

Recognition on a donor plaque placed on each adopted bench

    

Acknowledgement in selected donor communications

    

Invitations to selected donor appreciation events

    

Adoption Tiers and Recognition

As a Bench Adopter, your support funds the Gallery’s efforts in ensuring that art remains inclusive and accessible to all visitors, regardless of ability.

Personalised Recognition

Each adopted bench features a bespoke, high-quality brushed steel plaque seamlessly integrated into the design. You may choose to personalise your plaque with:

  • In Honour of: [Name / Family]
  • Adopted by: [Name / Company]
  • In Loving Memory of: [Name]
 
Standard Adoption
