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 convey a feeling of openness, inclusiveness and interconnectedness between humans and nature (plants, animals and microorganisms). They mirror our organisational values and our mission to create a more inclusive, caring and ecocentric society through our activities which are focused on support for the local artist community and the promotion and encouragement of creative pursuits.

​

Our close proximity to the Bukit Nanas forest reserve has  endowed us with a rich 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 their soul.
