Expose your child to the arts early on, says doodle artist Sofia

Last Saturday morning a bunch of children between the ages of five and 15 had a delightful time sketching, doodling, letting their imaginations soar and creating their own comic strips, at Galeri Khazanah’s temporary space at Slate@The Row, Jalan Doraisamy in Kuala Lumpur.

Galeri Khazanah, the virtual gallery, was launched on Aug 24, and its current exhibition Time Together: Exploring Art Through Khazanah’s Collection, showcases 57 artworks by 29 artists. To create awareness and make Galeri Khazanah more accessible to Malaysians, the temporary physical exhibition is open to the public until Sept 4 and features a mini selection of the artworks.
