Booth
At KLIF, we offer two types of spaces tailored to suit different needs. Hosted at GMBB, a creative community mall in Kuala Lumpur, we make full use of its unique space to create an inspiring environment for artists.
For solo artists, we provide Basic Booths—carefully sectioned-off spaces that allow you to showcase your work in a cozy yet professional setup. For collectives or those seeking a more immersive presentation, we leave certain rooms as they are, allowing participants to create a full-fledged Art Room Exhibition experience.
Art Rooms are limited this year, so we encourage artists with a vision for a curated exhibition to apply for these spaces. Let’s make this year’s fair a showcase of creativity and authenticity.
