Artcade
Head down to this artist-run art market and convention for works by about 150 Asian creatives.
Among them are the goth- and anime-inspired Singapore artist Sarah Thursday and Malaysian watercolour artist Kazel Lim.
Another exhibitor to look out for is the indie publishing collective Atelier Arcadia, which will present books by up-and-coming Singapore writers.
Artcade adviser Cheryl Teh said in a statement: "We wanted to make Artcade a space that would bridge the gap between independent artists, fan art communities, writers and crafters. These groups often exist in their own silos, and we wanted to make sure there was a welcoming, affordable space for people to sell their work."
Where: Multi-Purpose Hall, Level 7 Singapore Chinese Cultural Centre, 1 Straits Boulevard
MRT: Tanjong Pagar/Downtown
When: Sept 3 and 4, noon to 8pm
