Kuala Lumpur is bringing art to new heights – literally and figuratively – with the Art In The City initiative, a collaborative project between the Cultural Economy Development Agency (Cendana) and the Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL).
Art In The City throws together both legendary and emerging artists in a display of solidarity towards the Malaysian art landscape. If you are walking around Kuala Lumpur, take a look up and you might see a list of public artworks at iconic landmarks around the capital, such as National Art Gallery (NAG), Bursa Malaysia, the KL Citywalk and Lot 10.
