Launched on 29 August 2026, Port Seni is now open to visitors as a space to discover local creators, artworks, crafts and products that reflect the identity of Klang and Selangor.

Inspired by Port Klang as a meeting point for trade, culture and journeys, Port Seni reimagines the idea of a "port" as a space where ideas, artistic expression and inspiration can meet and grow. The initiative also adds a new dimension to GM Klang, a destination long recognised for wholesale trade. The initiative was inspired and encouraged by Ms Chua Yee Ling, Chief Executive Officer of Tourism Selangor, who recognised the potential for a dedicated destination where visitors could discover locally made products while gaining a deeper appreciation of the people, heritage and cultural character of Klang and Selangor.

Four Elements, One Creative Destination
Port Seni brings together four key elements:

1. Select Shop
Operated by Api House, the Select Shop is a curated retail space featuring handmade products, artisan works and locally crafted items. It provides local makers and creative entrepreneurs with access to wider audiences while allowing visitors to take home products that reflect the creativity and character of Selangor.

2. Gallery
The Gallery provides a platform for local artists to showcase their work and connect with new audiences. Its inaugural exhibition, Klang Art Harmony, features 61 artworks by 30 Klang artists, reflecting the diversity of styles, expressions and creative perspectives within the local art community.

3. Café — Coming Soon
An upcoming café will complement the Port Seni experience with a welcoming space for visitors to relax, gather and enjoy food and beverages surrounded by art and culture.

4. Pulau Ketam Art Corner
Dedicated to the artistic and cultural expressions of Pulau Ketam, the Art Corner introduces visitors to the stories, creative heritage and distinctive character of one of Klang's unique communities.

Beyond Retail and Exhibitions
Port Seni is designed to go beyond conventional retail and exhibition spaces through programmes such as art exhibitions, interactive workshops, creative demonstrations and themed bazaars. These activities allow visitors to discover not only the products, but also the people, creative processes and stories behind them.

For local artists, artisans and creative entrepreneurs, Port Seni provides access to wider audiences and opportunities to introduce their work and brands, gather market feedback and explore new collaborations.

Connecting Local Creativity with Tourism
Port Seni also aims to strengthen the connection between local creativity and tourism, giving domestic and international visitors another way to experience Klang and Selangor through local artworks, craftsmanship, products and stories.

As a tourism ambassador for Klang, GM Klang sees art and culture as complementary to the city's heritage and as another reason for visitors to explore Klang. Through Port Seni, GM Klang also hopes to contribute to the development of creative tourism in Selangor

From Commerce to Creativity
Port Seni reflects GM Klang's ongoing evolution from a traditional B2B wholesale destination towards a B2B2C approach, continuing to strengthen its wholesale foundation while broadening experiences and opportunities for consumers, businesses and the wider community.

GM Klang General Manager Chloe Tan Siang Hui said the evolution is about adding value to GM Klang's established business ecosystem rather than moving away from its wholesale identity.

"GM Klang has long been recognised for its strong B2B wholesale foundation. As business landscapes and consumer lifestyles evolve, we are moving towards a B2B2C approach while continuing to strengthen that foundation. Port Seni is part of this direction, bringing art, culture and local creativity into the GM Klang ecosystem while connecting local talent with wider audiences, markets and opportunities," she said.

The launch marks another step in GM Klang's ongoing transformation beyond traditional commerce, bringing business, art, culture, tourism and community closer together.

With its gallery, artisan retail space, cultural showcase, creative programmes and upcoming café, Port Seni aims to become a destination where visitors can discover local creativity, connect with the stories behind the works and take-home products reflecting the character of Klang and Selangor.

Located at Pavilion 5, Block C, GM Klang, Bandar Botanik, Klang, Port Seni is a new destination where visitors can discover art, culture and locally made creative products all in one place.
