Angkor Artwork E&T Stocker

Fine art gallery and workshop, producing some of the most beautiful decoration items in Cambodia by using ancestral techniques and precious textures like natural lacquer, gold leafs, eggshell, galuchat, straw marquetry, and much more...

Reviewed By RaymondT1398 - Sydney, Australia

This is a must visit destination if you travel to Siem Reap. Suggest you get a tuk tuk from town (not too far away but you don't want to walk in the high heat and humidity) and have them wait for you while you explore as it's not a large place. The venue has a workshop and a gallery. A lady named Sina spoke perfect English and walked me through the workshop and the process they undergo, including the lacquerware and how they make some of the art pieces, including the one I eventually ordered. I fell in love with a particular piece with silver leaf lotus flowers but it was mounted on wood (ie high freight costs and custom issues) and didn't have fish. Sina indicated that they could custom make something for me, put it on canvas, and add koi that I wanted (rather than the catfish they usually have). I prepaid including freight cost, which was very reasonable given it was made to order. Sina also sent me a picture of different koi via Whatsapp for me to choose which ones I wanted. The canvas arrived professional packaged so it wouldn't be damaged in transit. I had it stretched and mounted on a floating frame (attached) at 176x93cm. I highly recommend this place and to take home (or order) a high quality piece of art work at a reasonable price and support the local community.

Khmer Kids Art Gallery & Art workshop

With the goal helping children, Tomoko and her colleagues aim to provide a free and quality education, primarily to children who have the will to learn but lack the opportunities. We promote our students’ creative expression while allowing them to cherish joyful learning experiences as they grow. We are very proud of our students who have deepened and broadened their knowledge and creative abilities through Small Art School’s programs and activities. Eventually, the school realized the need for more funds in order to support the Khmer children in the best possible way. To help us realize our vision, we established a venue for more people to recognize the talents and abilities of Khmer Children. Thus, the Khmer Kids Art gallery was born. How are the profits from the artworks shared? 50 %: The individual artist or organization where the student belongs to. 30 %: Operating cost for this gallery. 20 %: Operating cost for Small Art School’s educational activities

Colors of Cambodia

The concept for Colors of Cambodia originated in 2001, when founder Bill Gentry visited Cambodia and found himself in awe of the highly skilled artists and rich artistic history of the country. He noticed most of the children in Siem Reap’s impoverished villages had no means or platform by which to create art, leaving a very important gap that needed to be filled. Currently there are still no mainstream art programs in Cambodian schools. In 2003, Bill officially opened the doors to Colors of Cambodia, located right in the bustling heart of Pub Street. What began as a way of offering free art education and materials to the children of Siem Reap has since developed to encompass much more over time. The NGO employs full time Khmer teachers (once former students), who teach in the gallery, as well as in local Schools within and on the outskirts of Siem Reap. It also hosts internationally renowned artists who conduct in-house workshops and has full-scale art exhibitions.

TRIBE Cambodia

Urban & contemporary art gallery, coffee shop and cocktail bar. Opening Hours 10am - 6pm Tuesday - Sunday

Reviewed By rittnerb17 - Singapore, Singapore

New to the Siem Reap emerging Art Scene, Tribe is a fantastic gallery and a definite Must See. The space is inviting and the ever-changing exhibits show a wide range of beautiful art from accomplished and new artists. Terry and Nat, the owners are extremely knowledgeable and are playing a huge role in supporting and mentoring Khmer artists. In addition to the art on exhibit in the gallery they are bringing street art to the walls of the surrounding alley ways. The breathtaking “Kandalis” mural by FinDac is not to be missed, a true OMG moment! I spent many a relaxing, wonderful afternoon enjoying Nat and Terry’s entertaining company and being educated about the artists they represent and learning of the multitude of ways they are contributing to Cambodian artists. Not to mention the fantastic Espresso Martini they serve! Highly recommend you stop by and visit with them.
