Art galleries have often been associated with the upper classes, of the rich commodifying the space. Bent on dispelling that image, KEN Gallery wants to create a platform to engage the community – young and old and many generations to come through arts.
Set in a 20,000 sq. ft. of space in TTDI, the gallery is divided into four halls with different sections namely The Main Hall, Hall 1, Hall 2, Hall 3 and a conservation centre. This vision has been a lifelong passion of KEN Holdings Berhad founder Chairman, Dato’ Kenny Tan, now come to life.
The Main Hall houses a permanent exhibition of Dato’ Kenny Tan’s private collection with a selection of some of Malaysia’s most talented and prominent artists.
There is also a section called ‘The Trail’ at the Main Hall that showcases exquisite fine porcelain antiques. Leading the pathway from The Trail is the Oriental Pavilion where it displays a wide collection of Malaysian brush paintings, and Ming Dynasty furniture.
Also featured at the gallery is a conservation centre, which is dedicated to the preservation of cultural heritage for future generations.
The gallery is now open to the public every day, but weekends require appointments and is closed on public holidays. It is also open to artists who want to host their events or exhibitions. For more info, call 017-711 8605 or email [email protected].
