Established in 2006, the eponymous FOST Gallery takes its name from its founder, Stephanie Fong, who from the outset made it its mission to show progressive contemporary artists from around the world with a special focus on artists based in Singapore.

The gallery first began showing young and emerging local artists in a converted historic shop-house on Kim Yam Road and quickly gained a reputation for its forward thinking outlook and critically acclaimed exhibitions. Its programme in recent years includes work by Tang Da Wu, widely acknowledged as the father of contemporary art in Singapore; as well as conceptual artists Heman Chong and Song-Ming Ang. The gallery represents Jimmy Ong, one of Singapores best-known artists, and up-and-coming sculptors Chun Kaifeng and Grace Tan. It also represents international artists who include Rodney Smith (USA), Adeel uz-Zafar (Pakistan) and Phi Phi Oanh (Vietnam).

In 2012, the gallery expanded and relocated to Gillman Barracks, Singapores premier contemporary art precinct. In 2013, Blouin Artinfo named FOST Gallery one of Asias top art galleries.
