Singapore’s largest indoor all-day creative festival, ARTBOX 2024 is back at Singapore Expo Hall 2 over two weekends from 26 to 28 Jan and 2 to 4 February with the theme, ARTBOX AVENUE.
Aiming to be 50% bigger than last year, ARTBOX AVENUE is all about a space for bustling art and culture with an increase in the number of stalls and varieties for retailer and F&B brands.
Look out too for the art and culture zone, games, workshops, live performances and more interactive elements.
One day will certainly not be enough with almost 300 vendors to visit!
ARTBOX 2024: The Gathering of Creatives
Artbox 2024 brings together more than just local talents by including overseas brands and artists and serving as a platform where creative brands from around the region can come together, a place to exchange ideas, goods and services.
Take for example graffiti Malaysian artist Jayee, creator of Monkiddo, one of the featured artists with her art mural, showcasing an imaginative universe filled with characters and monsters.
Thai band, from the Land of Smiles, The Parkinson will also be showcasing live performances.
You will also find close to 100 foreign brands joining ARTBOX Singapore this year namely from Korea, Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia
Central Avenue at ARTBOX Singapore
Take a walk down Central Avenue where you will find five stacked containers along with a 6-metre-tall LED screen and different IG worthy illustrations like Cloak Stop.
Turn left into a new area called the Open Plaza which was created to be an additional dwelling space to gather and to emulate an outdoor environment.
This dynamic space where creativity comes alive features workshops and activities like chess competitions by Aliwal chess club.
They even provide their grandmaster’s services every day to teach people about chess, and a chance to customize your own ARTBOX tee.
KTV & Gamestop Arena
ARTBOX 2024 also features the first KTV box in a festival at it’s Open Plaza where all visitors can sing for free at Teo Heng KTV box with the aim for its visitors to spend more quality time together.
We certainly agree that all ages would enjoy belting their hearts out here.
Featuring and unofficial boyfriend or husband corner, the Gamestop Arena allows you to enjoy Nintendo switch at $10/hr and VR experiences for $30/hr.
Pick up a hobby and immerse yourself in a world filled with creativity and innovation.
From caricatures by Jelly Caricature to fragrances by Vcube Scenting and even terrarium building with The Green Capsule, there is something for everyone!

Turn right and head down to the SGAG stage where they are turning up the fun and the pain at ARTBOX 2024.
Take part in the Hopscotch of Pain, and complete hopscotch on acupuncture mats in the shortest time to walk home with $888!
We are personally looking forward to the National Piak Cockroach Championship!
Food at ARTBOX 2024
With so many food and beverage brands to choose from, you will be spoilt for choice!
It is the first time in a night festival that you can drink coffee at night from brands like Tanah Merah Coffee, get your fries fix at Big Big fries, have teppanyaki to go at Sofnade, feast on beef cubes and creamy crab omelette rice.
Have your fill of specialty meat at Carve Butchery, satisfy your mala hotpot cravings at No Time Hot Pot, go on a gastronomic Taiwanese cuisine adventure with Monki and more!
There are also many Muslim-friendly stalls with desserts like Model Folks, traditional Thai desserts and takoyaki.
Shopping District
Take a walk after you’ve had your fill at the Shopping District to burn off those calories where you will be taken down fashion heaven with foreign brands like Octopus Studio from the land of smiles and even handmade retail items from Korea!
However one of our favourites had to be local brand Little White House for it’s cute illustrations on pins, keychains, plushies and even puffy bags that come in many pastel colours!
Hang Out at the ARTBOX Stage
Finally, families can find comfortable sitting near the ARTBOX stage to vibe along to the on-stage live band performances with performances from Happy Together, Circle of Thrust, Mister Spruce and more.
Finally, do not forget to make a memory at the complimentary AI photo booth!
