This weekend you can add two off-the-radar art exhibitions in KL to your "must-visit" list. Both don't offer a line-up of the usual painters and multimedia artists. They aren't even blockbuster in size. But they are all passion and heart.

At the their respective galleries, you will find these exhibitions taking different routes: one by highlighting visual storytelling from a cast of illustrators, and the other a "notebook/diary" showcase - in two indie venues - that gives visitors a glimpse of artistic processes, late night ideas, doodles and sketches from a variety of creative minds, filmmakers, poets and artists.
