SPACE
Art Space
George Town’s art scene is about to get more exciting – if you know where to look. Strategically located in the heart of Penang, within The Whiteaways Arcade on Lebuh Pantai, SPACE is an art space managed by George Town Festival that supports local artists and encourages creativity and originality. It is dedicated to the homegrown creative talents to showcase their works and carry out any artistic programme to reach a broader range of art lovers. The art space utilises a unique colonial complex within the George Town UNESCO World Heritage Site, which enhances the relationship between the architecture and the people while celebrating the ideas and artistry of its community. SPACE will be available for use from November 2021 onwards and is set to draw art makers and enthusiasts of all kinds. Be it an exhibition, a talk, or a performance, reach out to the Festival via email at [email protected] today!
