A balloon artist twists long modelling balloons into animals, swords, flowers, hats and simple characters, live, and hands each finished piece to a guest. It takes 2 to 4 minutes a piece, so the children watch it grow in the artist's hands and then walk away holding it. This is where you hire a balloon artist in Singapore for a birthday party, a company family day, a mall roadshow, a school carnival or a festive party.
Price: a balloon artist in Singapore usually costs SGD 250 to 320 for 1 hour at a birthday party and SGD 380 to 480 for 2 hours. A 2 hour corporate walk-around with 1 to 2 artists usually costs SGD 500 to 800. See how much a balloon artist costs in Singapore.

Two ways to book a balloon artist
Roving. The artist walks the room or the lawn, goes to the guests and hands out pieces on the move. Good for birthday parties, receptions and family days where people are spread out. See roving balloon artists.
A station. The artist works from one table or booth, and guests queue for a turn. Good for corporate booths, mall roadshows and launches where you want one busy spot. See balloon sculpting stations.
Both are the same craft. For the designs, the speed and what to expect from the artist's hands, see balloon twisting in Singapore.
Choose the occasion
Birthday parties. One artist for 1 to 2 hours covers most parties at home, in a condo function room or at a void deck. See balloon artists for birthday parties.
Corporate events and family days. Two to four artists rotating, often next to other kids stations. See balloon artists for corporate family days.
School and community events. Carnivals, fun fairs and community centre days with a long queue of children. See balloon artists for school events.
Christmas and festive parties. Festive shapes for year-end parties. December is one of the tightest months, so book early. See Christmas balloon artists.
How many artists you need
This is what decides whether the balloons work. One artist makes about 15 to 25 simple pieces an hour. A party of 20 to 30 children is fine with one artist for 1 to 2 hours. If more than 60 to 80 guests will want a balloon in a fixed window, book two or more artists from the start. A corporate event with 200 or more guests over a few hours usually needs two to four artists rotating.
Balloons and face painting together
Face painting and balloon twisting are the most common pair at Singapore kids parties. Two stations keep two queues moving, and booking both together usually costs less than booking each act on its own. See balloon twisting and face painting.
