KUCHING: Sarawak crafts have been receiving overwhelming demand from the overseas market due to their uniqueness and creativity, said Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture, Youth and Sports Datuk Abdul Karim Rahman Hamzah.
“Kuching has always been known as the gateway to Borneo and particularly so as the destination for foreign art collectors and antique dealers,” he said during the “Living Legends & Young Masters of Sarawak Crafts” exhibition launching ceremony at Pullman Hotel here yesterday.
The exhibition is held in conjunction with the visit of the World Craft Council City of Crafts panel of jurors for Kuching’s bid as a world craft city.
