Discover Independent Brands from Across Asia

Public Garden began in Singapore in 2011 as a gathering where friends and families could discover independent brands and the people behind them.

The event gradually developed into a recurring consumer trade show, attracting original brands and designers from Singapore and other countries.

Its regional mix gives visitors an opportunity to encounter products and creative perspectives that may not ordinarily appear together within conventional shopping centres or permanent retail stores.


Shop Art Prints, Illustrations and Stationery

Art and illustration form an important part of the Public Garden experience, with independent creators presenting original designs in different formats.

Visitors can expect to encounter colourful art prints, character illustrations, postcards, stickers and stationery created by artists and small creative studios.

The market is therefore worth exploring for anyone interested in collecting affordable artwork, decorating a personal space or finding gifts with a more distinctive visual identity.


Browse Fashion, Accessories and Handmade Goods

The shopping selection extends beyond paper products and illustrations to include independent fashion, accessories, crafts and lifestyle goods.

Rather than concentrating on one product category, Public Garden brings different creative disciplines together inside the same exhibition halls.

This variety allows visitors to compare products from numerous makers while directly supporting the artists, designers and small businesses responsible for creating them.


Plan Your Visit to Public Garden

The September edition will occupy Halls 405 and 406 on Level 4 of Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre.

The market opens from 1pm to 7pm on both days. Visitors who prefer a more relaxed browsing experience may wish to arrive close to the opening time before the larger weekend crowds gather.

It may also be helpful to bring more than one payment option when purchasing from independent vendors, as the accepted payment methods can vary between participating brands.


Our Take

Public Garden is a particularly strong weekend option for visitors who enjoy discovering independent creators beyond mainstream retail stores.

The combination of art, fashion, stationery, accessories and handmade products gives the market broader appeal than an event dedicated to only one creative discipline.

Free admission also makes it easy to visit casually, although collectors and enthusiastic shoppers may want to arrive early for the widest available selection.
