Established nearly three decades ago in 1992, Galeri Petronas was created with the purpose of nurturing, promoting and preserving modern and contemporary art in Malaysia. It has since hosted many an exhibit, putting not only the art but the talents behind them too in the spotlight.
In response to the COVID-19 lockdown, the gallery had come up with its #galleryfromhome initiative which showcases online content focusing on almost everything art. Slotting under this initiative is the Art For All online series, which thus far have been filled with Galeri Petronas’ throwback videos such as art discussions, workshops, artist interviews and then some.
