Paramount Art A-Fair 2025

Ever wanted to start an art collection but didn’t know where to begin? The Paramount Art A-Fair might just be the perfect place. Back for another edition at Awegallery, this mini art fair showcases a variety of artworks - all priced under RM5,000 - making art ownership more approachable. We speak to gallery owner and exhibition co-curator Dora Ong, to chat about this year’s featured artists, what goes into curating an exhibition like this, and why art should be for everyone, not just a select few.
