Singapore’s largest pop-up creative market, Artbox Singapore, is back for its second edition, bigger and better than before. This year’s theme is // Oasis // – representing an annual urban escape from cityscape into a sanctuary of experiential imagination. It will be held across two weekends from 25th to 27th May 2018 and 1st to 3rd June 2018, located at the Bayfront Event Space, next to Marina Bay Sands – The Shoppes.
Due to the overwhelming reception to last year’s edition (600,000 visitors), Artbox Singapore 2018 will spread across the Bayfront Event Space of over 140,000 square feet, nearly three times bigger than last year’s event. It is expected to cater to an estimated 700,000 visitors this year with more than 400 regional and local creative retailers and partners.
Highlights include:
- Massive entrance archway and media viewing deck constructed from Artbox’s iconic 20-foot shipping containers
- Over 20 (mix of 20-foot and 40-foot) shipping containers to be re-purposed for event usage including an exclusive Artbox Singapore merchandise shop
