What is it? Located in the heart of Old Bangkok, Matdot Art Center is a contemporary exhibition space and residency for international artists. Whereas the area has an Old World European charm, Matdot is the revolutionary spirit shaking up the historic identity of the neighborhood.
Why we love it: The art center is the brainchild of Tawatchai Somkong, editor-in-chief of Fine Art Magazine. Visitors have the opportunity to meet the artists-in-residence in person, a refreshing first in Bangkok, and to unwind in a non-commercial setting with like-minded individuals. This is the place to go when you are looking for mental stimulation and discourse on art for art’s sake. No painting by numbers here!
Time Out tip: Join an opening night to immerse yourself in a colourful group of guests, or go solo to meet a resident artist who may invite you to their studio and chat about the creative life over a cup of coffee.
Opening hours: Matdot Art Center, Monday to Sunday 10am-6pm. 47 Lan Luang Rd, Wat Sommanat, Bangkok 10100
