KL Art Book Fair 2025
You don’t have to be a bookworm to be part of the KL Art Book Fair. The annual fair returns for its 5th edition, this time with an expanded selection: 125 exhibitors from across the region with an eclectic mix of work and special presentations from creative studios.
What to expect at the KL Art Book Fair?
KL Art Book Fair is back from 28th to 30th November 2025, at Kuala Lumpur & Selangor Chinese Assembly Hall (KLSCAH). The fair boasts a diverse collection of artists from Malaysia and around the region, with a focus on spotlighting the region’s art scene and artists.
There are 106 talented local artists from countries including Malaysia, South Korea, and Thailand filling KLSCAH’s vast hall on the ground floor. Browsers can expect creative handicrafts, including art prints, zines, and postcards.
Book talks and launches will take place on the main stage, in the same hall.
On the upper floor, there’s a host of screenings and conferences held, and also a display of outstanding design art books, part of The Most Beautiful Swiss Books presentation that visitors can flip through.
There are two special exhibits on the same floor: an immersive art installation by IMMERSIOx and Emerging Perspectives: Japan’s New Graphic Designers 2025. The latter features the award-winning works of several Japanese designers, with creative pieces such as posters and art books displayed.
Japanese paper distributor, TAKEO, has a booth here too, with an eye-catching display of aesthetic paper swatches that you can curate into a booklet to bring home.
