PROJECT OVERVIEW
3.1
Background
The Penang State Government has envisioned Penang Arts District (hereinafter
referred to as “PAD”) to be the creative hub of Penang’s contemporary arts
and culture, as an initiative to catalyse the economic growth of the creative
industry in Penang. With an existing dynamic arts scene in Penang that is
growing as a contemporary cultural centre, PAD will enhance the value of
Penang’s arts and culture by engaging artists, craftsmen, educators and the
community at large through the activation of creative spaces with interactive
art-related programmes.
PAD will be an incubation centre for aspiring and emerging artists who are
looking for support and opportunities to expand their creative career. It will also
be a creative network that unifies the dispersed arts scene in Penang. PAD will
host arts-related festivals and fairs established both locally and internationally
to promote opportunities for arts and creative exchange.
3.2
Physical Space & Programmes
Situated at a site area of 9.2 acres, the arts district will consist of innovatively
designed cluster of containers that are affordable, efficient and
environmentally friendly. With a gross floor area of 80,000 square feet, PAD is set
to be the largest container city in the world, housing galleries, arts spaces,
studios, workshops, artisanal retail stores, premium outlets and many more to
support the thriving creative industry in Penang. Refer to Attachment 6: Tenant
Mix (Preliminary Proposal) for a list of potential tenants and programmes for the
arts district.
With pockets of green park and dedicated open spaces showcasing public art,
PAD will serve as a community centre that attracts the residents of Penang to
explore their inner creative pulse and to cultivate a creative lifestyle. Moreover,
these public spaces are ideal venue choices for vibrant art related festivals and
events that are accessible to the public.
The arts district will be a hip and urban creative hub that connects the existing
arts spaces in Penang, connecting them to a greater audience. PAD is an
initiative by Penang for the people of Penang. It will be a recognizable icon in
Penang as the destination for both locals and visitors to explore the arts in the
midst of Penang’s rich cultural and heritage backdrop.
3.3
Ownership
The Land for the Penang Arts District’s Development will be alienated to PDC
by the state whereupon PDC shall be the registered proprietor to the land and
sole owner of PAD upon completion of the Development. The said land shall be
a leasehold land with a tenure for Ninety Nine (99) years. Upon completion of
assessment to the RFP by PDC, the tender contract (‘Contract”) based on the
Design and Build (D & B) concept will be awarded to the Successful Tenderer
whereupon, such contract shall bind PDC and the Successful Tenderer. Penang
Convention & Exhibition Bureau (PCEB), a wholly owned subsidiary of PDC, is
appointed to manage and coordinate the operation of PAD upon completion
of the Development.
