Editor’s Experience: A Creative Haven Like No Other
Attending ARTBOX EVERYDAY 2025 was an inspiring experience that truly pushed the boundaries of creativity and community engagement. The journey began with a ride on the ARTBOX Express, which transformed the shuttle bus into a dynamic art space, complete with digital art displays, live music, and interactive elements. This innovative start set the stage for the incredible experience that awaited at Singapore Expo.
Upon arrival, the Hero Structure, an awe-inspiring installation crafted from shipping containers by PHUNK Collective, immediately captured my attention. It was the perfect representation of ARTBOX’s fusion of art, culture, and architecture.
I was particularly drawn to ARTBOX Estate, where the ARTBOX Convenience Store offered a curated selection of artist-designed merchandise, a great way to take home a piece of the event’s creativity. The heartwarming community initiatives, such as the mural drawings and the “Unlock Goodness” activation by SōngHè, demonstrated ARTBOX’s commitment to giving back, making the event feel not just like a celebration of art but a platform for positive change.
The Open Mic Sessions added a lively atmosphere, while the Gamestop Arena allowed me to relive my favorite gaming moments. The culinary delights, especially the Shibuya honey toasts, were a treat for the senses, rounding off the experience perfectly. The combination of live performances, workshops, and unique retail offerings made ARTBOX 2025 an unforgettable celebration that elevated everyday life with art and community.
