Subhashok Angsuvarnsiri

founded Subhashok the Arts Centre (S.A.C.) in 2012

with the vision to bring art closer to the local community. In the same year, S.A.C. started a new mission, which was to serve as a platform for young and emerging Thai artists to receive support and professional assistance to build their careers.

S.A.C. has evolved throughout the years, and so has Subhashok Angsuvarnsiri: he began to tackle new challenges by taking Thai artists to international art fairs, establishing an artist residency program in Chiang Mai, and continues to bring art closer to Thai people with touring exhibitions.

Subhashok Angsuvarnsiri wants to change the Thai art world – for ordinary Thai people to appreciate and embrace art and culture in their lives; to close the gap between art and people; and to create opportunities for Thai artists.
