Did you miss Artbox last weekend? Fret not as the largest retrofitted creative market housed in its iconic metal shipping containers will be held again at Sunway City Outdoor Open Air Carpark on Nov 16 to 18 from 3pm to 11pm.
Artbox is recognised internationally for its unique layout of 15 shipping containers that surround its perimeters and fairy lights spanning across six kilometres that have become synonymous with the night market.
Originating from Thailand, this Malaysian edition features over 300 vendors and partners from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore with a different line-up each weekend.
Artbox Malaysia will focus on giving the Malaysian audience an all-inclusive creative market experience from the trendiest retailers to the tastiest food and beverages.
Proudly supported by Sunway Group, its vast array of entertainment, leisure and lifestyle attractions seamlessly integrated across 800 acres makes Sunway City the perfect location for a creative and diverse market such as Artbox.
“We are pleased to host Artbox, which is a unique experience that will attract art enthusiasts, aspiring designers and food-lovers from all over Malaysia and international tourists to Sunway City for this first-in-Malaysia attraction. Sunway has pioneered best in class tourism offerings, and we believe events like these will help achieve Malaysia’s tourism targets,” said Sunway Group founder and chairman, Tan Sri Dr Jeffrey Cheah.
Each weekend brings forth a different set of unique creative lifestyle and fashion vendors that exhibit the distinctive styles from Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
For instance, Malaysian streetwear brand, Pestle & Mortar Clothing will be releasing an Artbox Malaysia exclusive “Artbox X PMC” merchandise whilst showcasing PMC’s special original products together with Supercrew.
Visitors also have the chance to indulge in gastronomic bites from delectable food and beverage stalls and food trucks each weekend.
Some intriguing delicacies that food-lovers can look out for are sushi burritos by Makirito, milk tea bundt cakes by The Baking Trip, Singapore Laksa by PGFN, and signature sweet and savoury crepes by Thailand’s House of Crepe.
Besides a dedicated dining zone for guests, there will also be a chill-out area furnished with free standing hammocks by Airmocks Singapore to provide a resting spot for weary event-goers after hours of exploring the many attractions that Artbox has to offer.
Synonymous with its mission to provide designers, artists and musicians a platform to grow, Artbox Malaysia will showcase live music performances from local musicians such as DANI, Wanted Symphony and Pris Xavier.
Artbox aspires to provide something for everyone to enjoy. One of their greatest attractions is the creative and Instagram-worthy art installations crafted on its unique shipping containers. The Malaysian edition will see original artworks by Sunway University students illustrated on their 40ft containers.
Visitors can also step into the containers transformed by Wowsome, the innovating photo activations experts, where they can immerse themselves in interactive digital art installations.
To enjoy the integration of art, music and culture without any parking concerns, SOCAR, a car-sharing platform that allows users to book a car which suits them by the hour, is extending an exclusive discount and reserved parking spots at Artbox for their users.
