About Village
Every sale pays Village directly.A meaningful share of each purchase goes to the artist.
The name Village is synonymous with collective artistic movements and historical sites of creativity rather than a single individual. Most notably, it refers to The Artists Village (TAV), a group established in 1988 that redirected focus toward performance and installation art. This collective approach prioritized experimental practices and community-driven expression over traditional solo studio work.
Beyond Singapore, the term identifies the Cholamandal Artists' Village in India, a pioneering community founded in 1966. The name also resonates through art history as a recurring subject in modernist painting. These associations highlight a shared dedication to collaborative environments and the exploration of communal identity within the visual arts.
