Keep Kalm,
Keeping
Craft Alive
Kalm wants to create a place that brings people together through the love of art, craft, and culture.
We believe in the ability of art, craft, and culture to educate, engage, inspire and empower.
Kalm Village is an Art, Crafts, and Culture Center in the heart of Old Town Chiang Mai. Through means of architecture, objects, food, archive, workshops, dynamic exhibitions, residency programs, happenings, and conversations, our goal is to empower local wisdom, makers, and communities, through space and contemporary platforms.
βIn order to carry on our ancestral wisdom, it has to be practiced all the time
like a river flowing.
The river will still be a river and not be left dry
when the old stream flow on, and the new stream flow in to replace continuously.β
Whatβs On
At Kalm Village, we celebrate and explore diverse artistic, cultural, and historical subjects where heritage and innovation converse. Our programs, event, and happenings are thoughtfully curated to foster the understanding and appreciation of the arts, crafts, and cultures in various dimensions.
