Lights and Christmas seem to be synonymous with each other. And what better way to soak in the feels of the festive season than with lights? Christmas will lighten up in neon colours from now through 25 December 2022 at Suntec City, the venue for Christmas in the City – an opulent event with rides, games, an NFT digital art display and live music.
Neon lights. Art installations will light up Christmas in the City.
The Sky Garden on level 3 of Suntec City will be illuminated by a variety of neon light installations, ushering in the festivities.

Getting artsy in SG
The Show Master is bringing an NFT Exhibit and Digital Art Workshops to the Atrium of Suntec City in recognition of the potential entertainment and amusement that NFTs may bring to both online and offline communities.
Suntec City’s Atrium will feature prominent works, such as Prime Planet, Imaginary Ones, Memotics, and Y2123 by Layer C, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily (Tower 1 and 2). At the event, you can also buy caps and hoodies featuring the designs of some of the featured projects.
Plus, fans and members of the NFT community will be overjoyed to learn that a community space has been established for them to meet one other and stay abreast of community news and developments.

Join a fireside chat with the creators of the four featured projects, Alan Kueh of Memotics, David Lee of Imaginary Ones, Jack Ong of Prime Planet, and Keith Teo of Y2123 and Layer C, on 17 December from 2pm to 4pm, to learn more about their motivations and processes behind developing their respective apps.
Speakers at this session will discuss some of the meaningful community-led projects they’ve been working on, as well as current hot topics like the future of digital art, NFT and blockchain utilisation, omni-channel integration from a Web2 to Web3 space, and the concept of harnessing metaverse for various brands. New and inquisitive minds seeking to wrap their heads around the concept of the Web3 environment will find this fireside discussion to be the ideal setup for their first tentative steps into the metaverse.
