PENANG:

This is the first time that Penang Art District has partnered with a shopping mall in a similar way to promote and organise interactive art activities to the public. Thanks to Gurney Plaza, Penang Art District will organize various workshops or exhibitions at Gurney Plaza every month.

Bringing art activities into a traditional shopping mall not only gives the shopping mall a creative touch, but also rejuvenates the shopping mall and gives consumers a sense of freshness, allowing for frequent changes in art exhibitions and events. The younger generation is also more enthusiastic about culture and art than ever before.

The fusion of art, leisure and business attracts consumers to stay in shopping mall longer, and at the same time, providing artists a platform to showcase their artworks, bringing together best of both worlds.

Art is now more accessible with up close opportunity to attend different workshops and art events. Shopping malls are also no longer just mundane place but through such collaboration, art is brought closer to everyone, thus popularising art in Penang.

From time to time, Art@Gurney Plaza will present different types of art projects such as exhibitions, installations and handicraft experiences, and will collaborate with young artists to create valuable projects through the combination of art and business such as the existing monthly collaborative art project with VANS, providing workshops to the public.

All artists who wish to be part of Art@Gurney Plaza are welcome to submit their proposals to Penang Art District at info@penangartdistrict.com.
