As the creative sector cautiously resumes operations, five art galleries in the Klang Valley have set aside their competitiveness and come together for a Gallery Weekend initiative from Oct 9-11.

Right Here! Right Now! will see each gallery exhibit different works from a group of young artists: Joshua Kane Gomes from Richard Koh Fine Art, C.C. Kua from The Back Room KL, Syahbandi Samat from Artemis Art, Jane Stephanny from Suma Orientalis and Haafiz Shahimi from Core Design Gallery.
