Artbox Singapore is back for its third and biggest iteration, held at the 200,000-square-foot event space (The Grounds@Kranji) at the Singapore Turf Club for two consecutive weekends on 15-17 November and 22-24 November.
INVADE is serving up this creative retail experience with an exciting blend of over 300 regional and local curated entertainment acts, retailers and artworks by visual and expressive artists.
