ART FOR GRABS Sat 29 & Sun 30 Mar 2014 is now open for tender. Art For Grabs is KL's most happening art bazaar cum mini arts fest happening every three months at The Annexe Gallery.
Sponsored by Buku Fixi, this coming Art For Grabs is in conjunction with the KL Alternative Bookfest (KLAB). Yes, we are bringing it to March now! We are therefore encouraging artists, vendors and organisers to consider the theme in their products and events.
THE ANNEXE GAMES: The booth that is voted by visitors during Art For Grabs as the Most Creative will get special recognition, a token, will get their rental free, and also get to nominate their favourite NGO/cause vendor for a free booth at the next Art For Grabs. Also, the paying event with the most audiences will have their rental fee waived. Let the grabs begin! And may the kangkung be ever in your flavour!
