Each weekend exhibited different styles and trends in fashion, accessories and artisanal novelties from streetwear by Pestle and Mortar to hand-painted bags by Thai retailer, Nokkajib.

Food lovers were able to experience delicious and unique treats such as rainbow cheese buns by PP Happy Cheese, black tea stinky tofu and neon-coloured beverages by Juicy Baby. Signature delights such as Thai iced milk tea and Singapore laksa by PGFN were also big hits with the crowd at Artbox Malaysia.

One of their greatest attractions were the creative and Instagram-worthy art installations crafted on Artbox’s unique shipping containers with one of the containers being specially designed by students from Sunway University.
Artbox Malaysia also saw numerous up and coming musicians take centre stage to perform to crowds of people who captivatingly watched on and cheered throughout their performances.
