excavart Singapore · in development

Coming to Singapore

There is always a show.
You just hear about it too late.

Openings get announced on a gallery's Instagram story and vanish in a day. Half the good programmes never make a listings page at all. excavart watches the whole scene so you don't have to — then tells you what's open within walking distance of wherever you already are.

No account, no feed, no algorithmic timeline. One email when it's ready.

How it works

  1. 01

    We crawl the scene, not the internet

    Museum sites, gallery pages, ticketing feeds and the Instagram accounts where small spaces actually post. Every listing links back to its source.

  2. 02

    Messy announcements become real dates

    “Opens Thursday” on a poster image is not a date. Extraction turns captions, PDFs and half-filled event pages into something with a start, an end and a location on a map.

  3. 03

    You open the app and it's already relevant

    Sorted by what you can reach on foot, right now, and what's about to close. If nothing nearby is worth the trip, it says so.

Where the listings come from

The first sources being wired up, in rough order:

Sources are credited and linked on every listing. Where a site asks crawlers to stay out, we stay out.

Built for people who'd have gone,
if only they'd known.

Singapore has more art on any given weekend than one person can track. excavart is the part of that job a phone should be doing.
