Art Expo Malaysia

AEM celebrates its nine years in 2015 as the longest running art fair in Southeast Asia, a rainbow package of art from the East and West and also from the South and Central America apart from Central Asia

It was started in 2007 by entrepreneur-impresario Datuk Vincent Sim Tiak Choo. The AEM was largely funded from proceeds of sales of Datuk Vincent Sim's Chinese art collection of over 40 years. It was to fulfill his dream of having an art fair to bring together some of the finest artworks from all over the world to Kuala Lumpur, all under one roof. He also knew the importance of having an art fair in Malaysia, which could contribute to the development of the visual arts industry, bringing the art scene a big leap forward.

In the Art Expo Malaysia is also served a specially curated exhibition emerging artists called Breaking Down The Wall. 

The artists selected must not be among those featured in the respective paying galleries in the Art Expo Malaysia.  Breaking Down The Wall is looking for want with something new and unusual, even radical to show. This group of artists can hopefully break new grounds in art-making and presentation.
