These galleries will represent over 100 local artists, an incredible mixture of pioneer artists, superstars, established and emerging young artists. The Malaysian works usually receive well response and good remarks in the visitors. Having a strong pool of local collectors specifically collecting Malaysian Art, it really is expected how the sales of Malaysian Art can be excellent.
