The inaugural Artbox Singapore, the local edition of the pop-up creative market made famous in Thailand, will be making its debut in Singapore this week.
It is a long weekend too, as we celebrate Good Friday and Easter Sunday. (Just in case anyone with the usual office hours is thinking of taking leave.)
Spanning across two weekends from 14-16 April and 21-23 April, Artbox Singapore is set to be Singapore’s first and largest creative market featuring more than 500 regional vendors and partners at Marina Bayfront.
Entrance is free for all.
What you can expect include retail therapy with regional vendors, gastronomic bites, a beer market and beautiful fairy lights installations at Artbox Singapore.
The creative market features a myriad of activities including music performances, open mic sessions and charity drives.
Styled similarly as an exhibition, on each weekend, visitors can look forward to:
– Over 10 (mix of 20-foot and 40-foot) shipping containers to be re-purposed for event usage including an exclusive Artbox Singapore merchandise shop
– 5,000 stunning fairy lights spanning across 3km, with an official light up on 14 April, 7pm
– More than 300 booths of beauty, fashion, food and art from regional vendors and partners
– Art installations crafted on 200 metal sheets from Artbox Thailand
