The Road to Success of the Phuket Art Gallery

With his strong appreciation of art, Khun Tee Rojcheevaphan, the owner of the Thalang Guesthouse, has explored the town to discoveworks of art which reflect Phuket's rich cultural heritage. His efforts have also drawn a lot of atention from tourists since 1995. His dream of opening his own art gallery became a reality with the help of his team and his wife, Ajarn Suansri Teosakul, a teacher in the language department of Stree Phuket School.

The Phuket Art Gallery was founded and opened its doors to the public in early 2005. Since then, this facility has become a gathering place similar to Kaosan Road in Bangkok, where people from all over the world, people from different countries with different culture and different histories can meet to enjoy their common passion for art. You can feel the history and the unique ambiance influences which have existed for more than 200 years.

The Passion and commitment of our Thai artists their strength and determination to carry on the good work for the past. Our gallery would like to serve as the spring board for our local artists and provide them with the support and opportunity they need to open new doors for their work regionally and globally, so that Phuket will continue to be a center of art and culture.

At the gallery we would also like to replace the despair of the local population dealing with the darkness and devastation of the tsunami with the light and hope and beauty of art. For this reason, the Phuket Art Gallery was wet up in October 2004 and opened its doors on 6th February 2005 in cooperation with the Phuket Andaman Art Club at the Muang Thalang festival in Phuket where our Thai ways of living, arts, culture and tradition from the past were displayed.
