Artcade 2026: A Cosmic Beginning runs Saturday 26 and Sunday 27 September 2026 at Suntec Singapore Convention & Exhibition Centre Hall 404, 12pm to 7pm, with last entry at 6.30pm. Admission is free.
The artist-run market fills Hall 404 with illustrators, craft makers and anime or fanart creators across a multi-letter booth plan. Nearest MRT stops are Esplanade and Promenade. The hall is wheelchair-accessible with a lift. Pets are not allowed.
What free entry still costs
Walking the floor is free. Optional extras sit at the counters outside Hall 404 and at the back of the hall: the official goodie bag is $25 (holo reusable bag, sticker sheet, stamp notebook, enamel pin, carabiner and acrylic clip). Pair a goodie bag with Artcade exclusive socks for $6 a pair.
Photobooth, DIY and house rules
A Dollop x Artcade photobooth at the back of the hall offers a free session if you follow both Artcade and Dollop on Instagram and show the follows to staff. A free DIY bottle activity needs the event booklet collected at the entrance, with pages 10 to 12 completed, then redeemed at the Activity Corner. Stamp collecting runs across creator booths; bring a journal or use the notebook in the goodie bag.
Cosplay is allowed if outfits are family-friendly and safe for work: no overtly revealing costumes, no realistic or sharp weapon props, and no military cosplay. Livestreaming and filming need each boother’s permission first. Last entry both days is 6.30pm.
