Art is Essentially the Affirmation, the Blessing and the Deification of Existence
– Friedrich Nietzsche
The KL Jazz & Arts Centre (KLJAC) promotes arts and culture in the capital city of Kuala Lumpur. Our mission is to help promote and foster creativity through Arts & Music.
Having organized the Kuala Lumpur International Jazz & Arts Festival (KLIJAF) since 2012, KLJAC has been established as a venue for performing arts, visual arts and written art.
KLJAC houses the KL City Art Gallery, an event space called the Thinkers’ Corner that hosts forums and seminars, a Jazz Club and Restaurant called Kinda Blue (inspired by Miles Davis) and a Jazz Café called Take 5 (named after the famed Jazz standard composed by Paul Desmond and recorded by The Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1959).
Since its opening in conjunction with the UNESCO International Jazz Day on 30thApril 2019, KLJAC has hosted a number of Jazz and music concerts/shows, including digital concerts, art exhibitions, poetry sessions, book launches and book readings among many other events and forums.
