TENTACLES Gallery
An art space, residency, and community gallery. A platform for experimentation and collaboration through exhibitions, artist residencies, and projects.
An art initiative in Bangkok
TENTACLES provides a platform for experimentation and collaboration. Our artist-in-residence program welcomes artists looking to develop their practices and expand their networks. We host regular arts & crafts workshops that allow people to learn new skills and expand their creative minds.
We have collaborated with partner organisations in Thailand and overseas to facilitate cultural exchange programmes.
