Important Announcement:
After a great community meeting yesterday, we (some of the founders, staff, board, and community members) have decided to pass the space off to Romcheik 5's team, for a new art gallery and animation/design studio, managed by Phal Sopheak. We are very excited to see this next phase of the Battambang art and once again want thank everyone for supporting Sammaki over the five years.
Please come to our CLOSING PARTY! Saturday the 19th. 1-4pm where anyone can paint, reminisce, and fun at the gallery - all artists and community members are invited to paint on the walls. From 4-8pm we will have a goodbye party, celebrating the five years of Sammaki's great work in Battambang. We hope to see you all there!
