The inaugural StartMoments Jakarta took over Ciputra World 2 with works by 130 artists, creative marketplaces, workshops, and discussions, offering visitors new ways to experience art beyond conventional galleries.
Art took on a different setting at Ciputra World 2 Jakarta as StartMoments Jakarta 2026 opened its doors on 5 November. Rather than limiting the experience to traditional exhibition spaces, the event brought together art, fashion, design, food, and entertainment, giving visitors the opportunity to explore how creativity can become part of everyday life.
Running until 8 November, the inaugural event featured 130 artists and 68 exhibitors. Organised as part of the ArtMoments ecosystem, StartMoments was designed to connect artists, illustrators, designers, and independent brands with wider audiences, while providing opportunities to develop their creative businesses.
One of the main areas was Urban Moments, a curated marketplace featuring original illustrations, art prints, fashion, accessories, and art-inspired merchandise. Visitors could browse independent brands, discover new works, and meet the creators behind them. The concept also extended into office spaces through The Workplace Art Fair, which turned meeting rooms and lounges on floors 51 and 52 into exhibition areas.
This year’s edition carried the theme ‘Faith’, exploring ideas around creativity, human connections, and future possibilities. The theme was reflected in Beliefs & Matter, an exhibition featuring works by 14 selected artists from different cities across Indonesia.
The programme also included Makers Moments, where visitors could take part in creative workshops, and Converse Moments, a series of discussions and panels on art and the creative industry. Wearable Art & Collectible Art Merchandise further explored the relationship between artistic expression and everyday objects.
Food and entertainment were also part of the experience, with ISMAYA providing culinary offerings and early office parties throughout the event. Supported by Ciputra Group and BCA, StartMoments presented an alternative setting for discovering art, meeting creators, and engaging with Jakarta’s creative community.
