A hidden arts gem in the heart of KL
The Godown is a centre for the arts located in Bukit Nanas, in the heart of Kuala Lumpur. We provide a place for artists, designers, musicians, cultural practitioners, and performers to gather, exchange ideas, collaborate and engage with their audience.
​
Our building architecture is a juxtaposition of the old and the new, comprising a century old colonial building previously used as a warehouse and a pavilion made of concrete and metal. Both the Main Hall and AiR pavillion were designed to evoke a sense of openness, inclusiveness, and interconnectedness between humans and nature. They mirror our organisational values and our aim to foster a more inclusive, caring, and ecocentric society through our activities, which are focused on supporting the local artist community and advocacy for nature conservation and social equity..
​
Our close proximity to the Bukit Nanas forest reserve has blessed us with a lush tapestry of greenery surrounding The Godown making it a peaceful and well-hidden retreat tucked away in a busy enclave. Here visitors can connect with art and nature and find nourishment for the soul.
