A.P Art Gallery is one of the pioneer art gallery in Malaysia. Founded in 1983, the humble beginnings of the gallery started out with Rahime Harun – a man who had been collecting art since the 80s ambitiously hoping to own his own art museum one day. Rahime Harun was involved in Anak Alam and Balai Seni Lukis before establishing A.P Art gallery in Taman Melawati with his wife Zarina Ariffin. During its operation under Rahime Harun, A.P Art Gallery strived to promote young and upcoming artists, undertake talented artists for apprenticeship, and enhancing art appreciation throughout the region
