Hidden in Section 16 PJ is a discreet space where fine art and design is shared and appreciated. The SGFA was started in 1998 and has developed a regional presence of artistic excellence. Committed to blend different cultures, disciplines and mediums together in their exhibition and educational and residency programs, the SGFA draws upon broad expertise in fine arts and design to offer a services such as advisory, valuation and collection management. 

 

In accordance to their philosophy of sustainability and quality distinction, the SGFA hosts a Coffee Break program that serves only the best organic fair trade blends. The program will feature coffees from Galapagos Islands and other parts of South America, Borneo, Thailand, and more. Currently being served is a brew from the hills of Chiang Mai, Thailand — the Duang Dee Hill Tribe Coffee. 

 

This coffee grown by the hill tribe villagers of Chiang Mai is a platform through which the tribes are able to maintain their traditional way of life with a healthy income. From the Duang Dee Coffee project, these major hill tribes —the Lisu, Akha, Hmong, Karen, Lahu and Thai Yai— have seen major improvements in their living conditions and have developed a sustainable economic model.
