Artbox Singapore 2019 – admission is free to this urban art container event, the largest there is

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.
