Spaces

Currently, Java Arts has three exhibition spaces. The first space that was opened in 2000 is the Main Gallery on the first floor of the café, where almost one hundred exhibitions have taken place. The Main Gallery has featured both Cambodian and international artists. The space is an integral part of the café utilizing the walls and an additional room that can be used for installation, media, sculpture as well as 2-dimensional works.
With the expansion of the café in 2009 a second space opened up on the ground floor, featuring additional café services and an exhibition space for artworks from the inventory and art events, like artist talks, performance art and screenings.

Building on ten years of curating emerging artists and arts development in Cambodia, JavaArts opens jGALLERY, a showcase for contemporary arts in Asia.  For the opening, artwork from the gallery’s inventory will be displayed.  jGALLERY focuses on Cambodia and represents three of the leading artists, Chath Piersath, Meas Sokhorn and Oeur Sokuntevy.  In addition, the gallery stocks artwork from other Cambodian artists, like Marine Ky and Srey Bandol, and will be developing that collection to include Southeast Asian artists and artists working in Asia.

jGALLERY, located at the end of the small alley next to Java Café & Gallery, is an open space dedicated entirely to the exhibition of artworks, including paintings, photography, sculpture, installation and new media.  There will be six exhibitions a year on a bi-monthly basis.
