Artisan + Vendor Marketplaces
MARKET SG creates temporary artisan markets and multi-vendor marketplaces that bring independent businesses, makers, artists, and specialty vendors together in unexpected places.
We activate commercial vacancies and underused shopping-center spaces, transforming them into marketplaces that introduce new activity, create selling opportunities, and invite people to discover local and independent businesses.
Our projects take many forms, from markets operating inside vacant commercial spaces to outdoor marketplaces in shopping-center courtyards and parking lots. We also produce mobile, themed markets within select exhibitions and other projects, extending the marketplace experience into different settings.

MARKET SG is a marketplace activation and production program: temporary retail in vacant buildings, outdoor markets, co-produced events, as well as mobile themed marketplaces within our exhibitions.
We host, produce, and co-produce markets in collaboration with experienced market operators, independent producers, property owners, and other project partners. Each collaboration is shaped around the space, the participating vendors, the intended audience, and the goals of the project.
MARKET SG may develop and produce a market directly, collaborate with an established market organizer, or integrate a themed marketplace into a larger exhibition or activation.
