Objectifs - Centre for Photography & Film

An underrated gem of a non-profit arts centre that is free to visit on most days except Monday. With a strong focus on photography and film works from Singapore and around the region, Objectifs has carved out a niche in showcasing, educating and promoting photographers and short film filmmakers. Their excellent gift shop located at the back of the centre has lots of rare art books, local zines, postcards and trinkets for sale. Spent about an hour perusing their free photography exhibitions and their gift shop.

Though there was just one not very big exhibition there on the day of my visit, I was very pleasantly surprised by both that even, welcome of Gallery's staff and overall ambience and environment of that creative art space.

yellow building - chapel gallery red & white building - lower gallery 1 free to enter and take a look at the exhibition available. visited back in may’25

I went to the gallery for soobin exhibition. I left feeling strangely what is this inexplicable feeling of entanglement? So close yet so far at the same time? Strangely familiar within distance or not so far ahead? Where are we? If only I could pick the right adjective to name it? Call it? Unsettled.

Visited as part of SAW in 10 days campaign.

Apart from the building which is an interesting one, considering that this was once a very small church, I think it's worth the time visiting a gallery focused on works of quality photographers. There were three exhibits. One in the old church and 2 in the building next to it. All the exhibits were well curated with interesting and artistic photographs exhibited. There were very few visitors as it was around 5pm on a weekday. I would say 30 mins to see all but a little longer if you are one who truly shows interest in such exhibits. It's a small gallery but I would highly recommend a short stop over if you are in the area.

A lovely place! I attended a workshop and met many lovely people here as well. Glad to have found this yellow house that sure stands out from the crowd.

Nice little building perfect for visual art and photography exhibitions. Objectifs just moved in here, they are still renovating at this moment. A little difficult to locate coming for the first time. Directions was a bit confusing. Just find this place between NAFA Campus 1 and GSM building. Opposite Fortune Centre across Middle Road.
