Singapore Tyler Print Institute

Colonial District, the Quays & Marina Bay


Established by the American master printmaker Kenneth E Tyler, the STPI collaborates with both established and emerging artists to create contemporary, often surprising, art based on printmaking and paper. Both local and international names are showcased in the gallery, and for a peek at the printing workshop itself, join one of the free guided tours (11.30am Thursday and 2pm Saturday).
