The first five zones take place at Event Arena on the first floor until Jan 15 while visitors can enjoy art installations at the "IG Room" from Dec 24 to Feb 15, 2023 at Living House on the seventh floor of CentralwOrld.

According to her, it adds a new dimension to the shopping experience that Central Department Store has created to cater to the modern lifestyles of consumers. "We are confident that the new spaces will attract content creators this festive season,” she concluded.
