Asia’s largest creative festival is back — and for the first time, it’s opening its doors to pets. ARTBOX CAMP 2026 returns this April with a refreshed concept that transforms the festival into a giant creative campground, bringing together art, design, fashion, food, and entertainment across two weekends at Singapore EXPO.
Taking place from 3–5 April and 10–12 April 2026, ARTBOX CAMP 2026 continues its mission to spotlight the region’s next generation of creatives — while introducing a more inclusive, pet-friendly festival setting for visitors who wish to attend with their pets.
A Creative Campground for Curious Explorers
Reimagined as a “creative camp”, ARTBOX CAMP 2026 invites visitors to explore, experiment, and discover beyond the everyday. The festival brings together over 250 independent brands, micro-businesses, and creators from Singapore and across the region, spanning art, design, lifestyle, fashion, and food.
Rather than a traditional marketplace, the experience unfolds as an immersive environment filled with pop-ups, collaborations, installations, and interactive moments — encouraging visitors to wander, pause, and stumble upon something unexpected along the way.
ARTBOX Art: Playful Design Meets Regional Creativity
Anchoring this year’s programme is an exclusive creative showcase by Wiggle Wiggle, the Korean IP lifestyle brand known for its bold colours, playful visuals, and design-driven everyday products.
Selected brand partners will collaborate with Wiggle Wiggle to integrate its iconic creative assets into exclusive products and on-ground activations, adding a distinctly playful visual layer to the festival experience.
Beyond this headline showcase, ARTBOX CAMP also serves as a platform for regional creatives to bring their work to life. The festival will collaborate with the organisers behind FOMO Art Weekend as its Official Illustrators Community, featuring a diverse lineup of illustrators with distinct visual voices showcased throughout the grounds.
ARTBOX Entertainment: Play, Perform and Participate
Entertainment at ARTBOX CAMP extends beyond live performances. While the ARTBOX Stage will host a rotating lineup of acts across both weekends, the festival also offers a variety of interactive zones designed for hands-on participation.
Visitors can expect:
- ARTBOX Kids, with workshops designed to spark creativity and imagination
- ARTBOX Arcade, a nostalgic throwback featuring retro and childhood-favourite games
- ARTBOX Arena, a cosy gaming zone with Nintendo Switch stations and photobooth experiences
Together, these spaces create a festival atmosphere that encourages connection, play, and shared discovery across different age groups.
ARTBOX Lifestyle: Over 250 Brands and Global Flavours
At the heart of ARTBOX CAMP is its expansive lifestyle marketplace, featuring over 250 local and regional brands across retail, design, and lifestyle categories. Shoppers can explore emerging labels alongside established creative names, making it a destination for both discovery and inspiration.
The food and beverage lineup adds a global dimension, with culinary offerings from Indonesia, Korea, and the USA, bringing new flavours and perspectives into the festival mix. This cross-regional exchange allows visitors to sample international tastes while supporting local and regional food innovators.
The Return of ARTBOX Demo Day
ARTBOX CAMP 2026 kicks off with ARTBOX Demo Day on 2 April, a dedicated B2B platform designed for entrepreneurs, creators, and industry leaders. Focused on collaboration and exchange, Demo Day reinforces ARTBOX’s role as a regional launchpad for creative businesses, with more programme details to be announced closer to the event.

✨ SG Pet Events Take: ARTBOX CAMP 2026’s first pet-friendly edition offers pawrents the option to attend with their pets, rather than a pet-focused experience. While the festival remains firmly centred on creativity, design, and lifestyle, this added flexibility makes it a more inclusive outing for visitors whose pets are comfortable in indoor, high-energy settings. It also works well as an additional event to attend alongside Pet Expo at Singapore EXPO.
