After a long hiatus, the Penang Arts Council or PAC is back in action! Established in 1954, PAC is one of Penang’s earliest associations dedicated to promoting and advancing the arts in Penang. Ever since then, PAC has come a long way, from staging the production of traditional music and dance to pop genres. We were also privileged to receive support from the public and companies such as Texchem G

roup of Companies and YTL in producing opera, a rarity in the region. Some of the operas that we’ve staged included A Grand Night of Opera (1989), Carmen (1997 and 2004), Die Fledermaus (1994), The Merry Widow (1996), The Land of Smiles (1999), Madame Butterfly (2002) and Turandot (2003). We are rejuvenating PAC with an objective to be inclusive of all performing, visual and other art forms in Penang, and to reach out to more people. We look forward to working with individuals and organizations to raise the standards of arts in Penang.

Unspoken: Voices Set Free
COEX@ Kilang Besi // Hin Bus Depot
7 – 16 November 2025

What happens when we give silence a voice?
Unspoken is a social art experiment by ceramic
artist James Seet & Clay Loo, inviting the public to
express what they’ve kept hidden — words of pain,
loss, or healing — onto clay vessels, which are then
shattered and transformed into sculptural forms.

The exhibition presents these reconstructed
fragments as powerful testaments to vulnerability,
resilience, and the beauty of release.
Featured here: “Hear Me and Set Me Free.”

Organised by Penang Art District In partnership
with D’Home Mental Health Association and COEX
