About
Our philosophy
"Art matters", is the motto of the contemporary art space of The Gallerist,
located in the iconic street 240 in the heart of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Our art space intends to be a hub for contemporary artistry designed to elevate the cultural and aesthetic landscape of the capital and aim to be positioned as a bridge between local creativity and international standards of excellence. By fostering collaborations with some of the most talented contemporary artists and designers, we want to offer a dynamic platform for artistic innovation and expression.
Our story
The Gallerist nurtures creativity by providing artists—both emerging and established—with space, exposure, and support. We champion innovation and experimentation, creating a platform where art can grow and push boundaries.
We represent a broad spectrum of talent, from rising voices to established figures shaping the regional art landscape. Our exhibitions, live performances, and artist encounters offer immersive experiences that connect audiences to the creative process.
By partnering with hotels, condominiums, and cultural institutions, we aim to elevate visibility and foster a deeper appreciation for contemporary art in Cambodia and beyond.
