Hello! We're Lan artist collective in the heart of Tembi, a charming village near Yogyakarta. Founded by Tatang and Aprat, we are an artist collective, showcasing the region's best artists. After being devastated by a local earthquake, our village turned towards tourism so we could become more self-sufficient. Our gallery, attached to Tatang's historic family home, supports local livelihoods and the revitalisation of our community. Come visit and experience the beauty of batik while making a real difference!
