Malaysia has some incredibly talented artists, and this art gallery at TRX features creations by some of the country's best emerging talents
In conjunction with our nation's Hari Kebangsaan and Malaysia Day period, the UOB Art Space will be open for two weeks as part of the AMBOI@TRX event from 2 to 16 September.
In collaboration with TRX, this showcase is part of UOB Malaysia's long standing endeavour to nurture arts and culture in Malaysia
The gallery will allow visitors to view the latest works by previous winners of UOB Malaysia's annual UOB Painting of the Year (POY) art competition.
Incepted in Singapore in 1982, and later expanded to Malaysia in 2011, the art competition has continued to unearth new local talents as well as provide established artists with a second wind in their sails.
This falls in line with the bank's belief in using art to connect people across various languages, cultures, and ages.
Pieces featured at the UOB Art Space at AMBOI@TRX will include newly created masterpieces by previous winners of the art competition

II, as well as the chance to inspire the creation of art among Malaysians.

This will all lead up to the grand finale weekend between 6 to 8 September, where visitors can enjoy a massive showcase of cultural art display, crafts bazaar, community joget lambak, drumline performances, wayang pacak, traditional arts workshops, and a pop concert with headliner Ramli Sarip.
