Artbox Overseas
Artbox’s first overseas edition was opened in Singapore. It recently had a bazaar of the same concept to the public. There are 500 vendors for local and regional hawkers. Its goal is to broaden its bazaar to Asian market. The usual large, colorful container boxes and art products along with plenty live music. It became a chance for some Thailand food and products to be featured in the Singaporean market.

There is no wonder it is a success to shoppers and art enthusiasts alike. It is a good thing to keep moving in this direction and make quality and artistic products more accessible to a lot of people.
