8Q sam is Singapore Art Museum's exciting new wing for contemporary art where you can interact and engage with new art forms. Apart from six galleries showcasing changing exhibitions, 8Q sam also features a unique children's gallery and experimental art spaces.

Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the diversity of contemporary art practices - from painting, sculpture, installation, film and video, photography, new media, to performance and sound art.

8Q Singapore Art Museum was opened on 15 August 2008. Former school site of Catholic High School. When the School relocated to their current location in 1987, the 3,500 sq m space gave home to the Kim Yan Cantonese Methodist Church. In September 2007, the Church ended its tenancy and the building was repossessed by the Singapore Land Authority. With new interest on contemporary art by the young, the National Heritage Board (NHB) took up tenancy of the building from the Land Authority. The Board also spent $5.8 million on renovations, and converted the classrooms in the 4-storey building into six galleries to showcase contemporary installation works, video and photography installation, performance art and sound art.

8Q sam will support experimental art forms and is envisioned to become a crossroad of new ideas and expressions. 8Q sam aspires to engage a broad and diverse audience, create a sense of community and be a place for contemplation, stimulation, and discussion about contemporary art and culture, and serves as a forum especially for the students.
