Wei-Ling Gallery initiated the 10,000 Books Project, donating art publications worth RM350,000 to 56 educational institutions across Peninsula Malaysia, including national and private schools. Over the past two decades, with more than 121 titles to its name, Wei-Ling Gallery has played a pivotal role in nurturing Malaysia’s contemporary art scene and has gained recognition as a leading publisher of art literature.
Through diverse publications, including monographs, artists’ books, and exhibition catalogues, the gallery has preserved and documented the stories of Malaysian artists. The core aim of the 10,000 Books Project initiative was to deepen young minds’ understanding and appreciation of Malaysian art and artists by providing insights into the journeys of progressive contemporary artists, thereby nurturing a generation that values and celebrates Malaysia’s artistic heritage. These are some educational institutions that were selected; swipe through to read their thoughts about it.
