SG60 Stamp Exhibition

Synopsis

In celebration of Singapore’s 60th year of independence, the SG60 Stamp Exhibition 2025 will be held from 10 to 12 October at the Visual Arts Centre, located above Dhoby Ghaut MRT.

This special three-day event showcases Singapore’s heritage, history, and resilience through the lens of stamps and postal memorabilia. We will have stamp dealers and exclusive daily cachets at the event.

The exhibition is open to everyone — from seasoned collectors to curious newcomers — to discover how stamps reflect our evolving identity and aspirations. It’s a chance to see stamp collections up close, and to celebrate philately as a hobby that connects generations.

We will have over 50 frames of exhibits, covering areas such as Singapore’s journey through stamps, postcards, and postal history. From airletters and National Day issues to the Malayan Postal Union and the evolution of the mail delivery system, it highlights how communication shaped our nation. Vintage postcards bring to life the Sixties, and we have themes such as the greening efforts of Singapore. The showcase also revisits the Sin Chew Jit Poh story, and we will showcase the story of Singapore Airlines.

The academy drawing and sketching tradition, rooted in centuries of artistic practice, emphasizes disciplined study of form, proportion, and technique. Originating from Renaissance workshops and formalized by institutions like the Royal Academy, it prioritizes meticulous observation and mastery of fundamental skills. Students progress from basic exercises to complex compositions, learning to depict still life and common objects with precision and expression. This tradition values both classical principles and innovation, encouraging artists to push boundaries while maintaining a deep respect for tradition. Through rigorous training and critique, artists within this tradition cultivate a strong foundation for creative exploration and artistic excellence.
