The GALLERY
Giving Art, Art of Giving
In recognizing the potential of the Thai people, AWC was inspired to improve the livelihoods of Thai artists, designers, and communities across the country by promoting social engagements, raising incomes, and improving the quality of life of neighboring communities through The GALLERY, AWC’s social investment project. The GALLERY was established based on AWC’s mission of “Building a better future” and contributing to a sustainable society.
The GALLERY, which operates as a Social Enterprise, provides an art and design marketplace featuring products created by some of Thailand’s most talented designers, artists, and local communities. With each purchase, customers are embracing socially responsible practices, with all profits creating scholarships for art and design students.
Through the concept of “Giving Art, Art of Giving,” The GALLERY is showing its commitment to promoting Thai artisans and craftsmen in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 8 which aims to support sustainable and equitable economic growth for all workers. In this regard, The GALLERY will serve as an intermediary helping those in search of artwork that is unique and creative, by prominently displaying and selling art pieces at their following 17 branches. Additionally, The GALLERY provides an exclusive space to set up a community center, including the Asiatique Heritage Lounge, to expand market opportunities, earn incomes, and exchange knowledge and experiences dealing with communities.
