The festival will be held on 22 and 23 July 2023 at Singapore Expo.
Bringing together a showcase of both celebrated and budding artists and creators from Asia, art lovers of all ages can check out a range of artwork and merchandise from artists across 13 countries and territories all over the world, catch artists in action, make friends with fellow enthusiasts and even bring home a unique commissioned art piece.

Attendees can learn from industry experts, catch the latest trends in the creative sphere, take part in exciting competitions, and connect with like-minded enthusiasts from the anime, gaming, and cosplay communities.
