This 2018 addition to George Town's ever-growing collection of public artworks is a gallery crafted from two vacant pre-WWII shophouses. Artworks run the gamut from murals of dogs, cats, flowers and Chinese opera singers to installations and a sculpture of a pink tank. Check the website for details of events held here, including yoga, craft markets and workshops.
