Artbox is a space where love for the arts, food and creativity culminates. The vibrant pop-up arts market hails from Thailand, and made its way to Singapore’s shores for the first time in 2017. Understandably, it saw overwhelming success from throngs of Singaporeans during its first run last year (2017), and is now back in 2018 with a new and improved version.
The theme for Artbox Singapore 2018 this year is none other than… Oasis! Artbox 2018 aims to be an oasis for us all – a melting hotpot for the creative community to bond, and for Singaporeans to submerge themselves in a creative environment, where they grow in their knowledge of the arts and culture.
Artbox Singapore 2018 (Oasis) promises to be a fun-filled experience for all, with a plethora of interactive elements and activities, creative art installations, great music, retail stalls and a wide variety of delicious food! Suitable for all ages, you will be glad to know that Oasis 2018 will be happening at the entire Bayfront Event Space at Marina Bay (which is a whopping 140,000 square feet) – This means more space and less jostling with the crowd!
This year, expect a bigger and better Artbox Singapore. 300 vendors and partners last year? This year, there will be a whopping 400 regional and local creative makers and partners from all over Asia, especially from Thailand! As Oasis is anticipating a larger turnout this year as compared to last year, they have catered for more than 20 shipping containers (as compared to around 10 last year), 3 times more space (an increase in space from 50, 000 square feet in 2017 to 140,000 square feet this year), and of course, more booths for us to enjoy!
