After a two-year absence due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Art of Speed is finally making a comeback for 2022.
Malaysia’s premier Kustom & Counter Culture event is going big this year celebrating its 10th anniversary of cool bikes, radical rides, art and culture.
The Malaysia Agro Exposition Park, Serdang (MAEPS), will host Art of Speed 2022 (AOS 2022) on July 2 – 3, 2022 from 10:30 am to 8:00 pm.
Art of Speed Malaysia (AOSM) is supported by Tourism Malaysia, and foreign guests from the international custom community and media will also be attending the event.
“Since its inception, Art of Speed Malaysia has successfully established itself as a gathering not only for motorcycle and car enthusiasts, but also art-practitioners, musicians, collectors and the likes, while culminating in a large-scale annual event.
“This year AOSM will be celebrating its 10-year anniversary and will be igniting the spirit and enthusiasm of loyal visitors with the highly-anticipated Sound Circus Festival even,” said Art of Speed Malaysia (AOSM) festival director Asep Ahmad Iskandar.
