ShengYing Ng

My name is ShengYing Ng, I am a second year History of Art student, and the current external relations officer of the society. I am standing for the position because I believe in broadening the society's reach to more students as well as to continue hosting leading professionals in the industry who provide valuable information on the fast moving art world.

I believe, presently, with such strides in blockchain and web3.0, more can be done relating to subjects such as art and technology, compliance issues surrounding art (art law), and the developing investment models surrounding art (art finance) aside from present events which are more related to the secondary market and auction houses. 

I have interned at an award-winning commercial gallery in Singapore, assisting with operations and curatorial research. Having a strong interest in entrepreneurship and social impact, I have developed strong commercial awareness, crucial to one's understanding of the art market, through working for start-ups and participating in business pitch competitions. Lastly, I have also gained a valuable awareness of the workings and development of disruptive technologies causing major shifts in the existing art world, having previously worked for a crypto analytics company. 

I intend on using my current contacts and all of my academic and professional experience to help art business society expand as well as maintain its current quality of events. 

Thanks for reading till the end :)
