CIMB Artober was established in 2020 as the first ever art and culture campaign created by a local bank in collaboration with 10 of the most important art galleries in Malaysia. This year, CIMB Artober 2021 is making a greater impact with its first public-private collaboration with Cendana Malaysia and Yayasan Hasanah to celebrate and promote Malaysian arts. CIMB Artober aims to support artists by improving the marketplace, preserving livelihoods and the economic viability of our local arts community.

Suma Orientalis is  pleased to announce its participation in the Hotel Art Fair in conjunction with CIMB Artober 2021.

We selected 7 contemporary artists in this showcase. They are Chong Kok Choon, Hitori Nakayama, Lith Ng, Tang Hon Yin, Tan Choon Ting, Tiong Chai Heing and Wong Woan Lee.

CIMB Artober 2021 Hotel Art Fair (supported by CENDANA) will run from 4th – 7th November 2021 at Hotel Element by Westin Kuala Lumpur.
