Kuala Lumpur — project space
WM Arte Gallery gives illustrators, fashion artists, and graphic designers wall space in Kuala Lumpur — plus branding and consulting when the work needs to leave the frame.
About
WM Arte Gallery hosts short-run exhibitions with independent illustrators and artists around Kuala Lumpur — watercolour, fashion illustration, graphic art, comics. Outside of shows, the gallery works directly with artists and brands on illustration, branding, and consulting.
If you're an artist looking for wall space, or a brand looking for an illustrator, that's the same phone number.
Exhibitions
A running record of what's been on the walls. Between exhibitions, works from past shows and studio consultations are by appointment — reach out.
