Need a break from the CNY frenzy? The latest edition of the iconic arts hub, ARTBOX EVERYDAY, will take over Singapore EXPO Hall 4. From 17 to 19 Jan and 24 to 26 Jan, there will be an explosion of creativity, culture, and family fun. This year promises to be bigger and better, with more than 190 creative local and international businesses with over 90 F&B stalls.

The concept of ARTBOX EVERYDAY is a representation of all the great things about Singaporean culture. So, the aesthetic along with the F&B and retail stalls will feature classic local iconography and recapture the vibrancy of our beloved bazaars.

Karaoke your hearts out at the Open Mic (courtesy of KTV Teo Heng), enjoy live performances from local and international acts like The Mad Trio and Priscilla Abby, and play classic arcade games from The Arcade People.

ARTBOX EVERYDAY - Aliwal Chess Club exhibition featuring works by 30 artists, featured artists' personal works and a group of youngsters enjoying a game of chess

Above all else, ARTBOX EVERYDAY is a celebration of the creative arts scene in Singapore. This year’s edition hopes to support local artists by providing art pieces at much lower prices. It is an opportunity for locals and foreigners alike to gain an appreciation for local arts and witness the potential that our homegrown artists have.

There is also a special collaboration between Aliwal Chess Club and 32 local and regional artists. Each of them took their respective art styles and transformed these scaled-up chess pieces to create a stunning display.

ARTBOX EVERYDAY - all the food that we got including drinks and dessert

Of course, there is no Artbox without food. We struggled to pick between the different delicious F&B options.

To my Muslim friends, there are Halal options for y’all from Muslim-owned businesses. I had the Signature Quesa Birria Tacos (S$12), which was tender and juicy, along with the delicious Chicken Sausage Mac and Cheese (S$14).

Other F&B dishes we got include Negitoro Pie-Tee (S$12), Mafalde (S$24), Tortolla (S$22) and Cloudy Fresh Watermelon Drink with Cotton Candy (S$7). To see everything we tried, check out TikTok.

ARTBOX EVERYDAY - retail booths selling cute tote bags and charm bracelets

With our tummies full, we finally checked out the different retail options. Many local businesses are selling a range of merchandise, including tote bagscharm bracelets and vintage digital cameras.

There will also be international retailers like Loma Whale and Pola from Thailand, THE SCENTIST from Hong Kong and N7 from South Korea.

ARTBOX EVERYDAY - my portrait done by Jelly Caricature and a free stamp from Sriste, featuring Blobbie

Highlights of the event for me were Jelly Caricature and Sriste.

I got a vintage 60s-style caricature of myself done by the talented Jelly Artists. It was a live drawing and the artist did it in less than 10 minutes. Insane.

Then, while exploring the retail booths, I discovered Blobbie, an adorable squishy cartoon. I gushed over how cute it was and only got more excited when I realised there was a free stamp that I could collect. Simply adorable.

ARTBOX EVERYDAY will also have all-new features like:

  • Food trucks
  • Complimentary 1-hour childcare facilities, for young ones aged 3 to 8 years old
  • Shuttle service between EXPO and *SCAPE
