Artsobi 3.0: Tiny Forest is at Suntec Singapore this Saturday and Sunday, 29 and 30 August 2026, in Halls 404 and 405. Doors are 1pm to 7pm both days. Entry is free. No ticket, no RSVP.
You will not see this on the official visit-events calendar. The Suntec listing this week is mostly churches, BNI breakfasts and title-only rooms. Artsobi lives on the organisers' own site, artsobisg.carrd.co, and on Instagram at @artsobi.sg. Artists have been posting booth catalogues all week. If you want prints, stickers and zines before they walk, this is the weekend.
What Tiny Forest actually is
The name is a mash of “art” and the Japanese asobi (to play). The team is local artists, not a trade-show promoter. This is the third edition and the largest so far: two halls on Level 4, themed Tiny Forest, with a stamp rally and a marketplace of illustrators, makers and small brands.
Setup is 11am to 1pm for vendors. Public hours start at 1pm. Artists were told booths cannot go above 2.3m. That is a safety rule, not a vibe note, and it keeps the aisles walkable.
A normal table this year cost S$600 (one 6ft table, two chairs, two vendor passes). Premium wall or corner tables were S$680. Exhibitor shells were S$2,500. Applications closed in January and were curated, not first-come. International artists were allowed. Up to three people can share one table. That mix is why the floor will feel denser than a school art fair and looser than a licensed anime con.
What people are actually selling
Catalogues posted this week are mostly original and fandom work: Zenless Zone Zero and Honkai: Star Rail stickers from about S$2, prints, keychains, and small originals. Booth numbers already in the wild include K19, P-17, G4 and L05. Cash is still common. Several tables asked for exact notes. If you are coming from the mall atrium, bring small bills.
Do not treat any one catalogue as the full map. Artsobi does not publish a public booth directory on the carrd. The practical move is to walk both halls, then loop back. Hall 404 and 405 sit next to each other on Level 4. Last weekend those halls hosted Celebfest. This weekend they are tables and print walls.
Same weekend, same building
Wednesday 26 August is still the SUSS Geronpreneurship Innovation Festival in Halls 403 and 404. That ends before Artsobi opens. Saturday and Sunday the convention atrium also hosts SPH Media's Health & Wellness Bazaar, 11am to 8pm, next to Uniqlo, free, with doctor talks, DJ sets and a S$90 goodie bag for the first 250 people at 11am and 4pm each day.
Fencing Singapore's Asian Cadet Cup is also listed on the visit-events calendar as “Fencing ACC Event”, 29 to 30 August, 8am to 10pm. Clubs have said spectators are welcome. The Suntec page has no hall number. Treat it as a closed-ish competition unless you confirm on the day.
Down in the mall atrium (not the halls): the Nendoroid SEA Tour is still in Towers 3 and 4 through Sunday, plus Ani-One POP, American Tourister, Sleepnight/Oterre, Tiger Brokers and F1 merch along the convention walkway. If you are already in the building for Artsobi, those are the extra stops, not the reason to come.
