I love George Town Festival. Every year I visit the events and review them on my blog. My friends ask me about which exhibitions to visit because they see on facebook that I’ve been to them all and I’ve done the leg work. As an artist based in Penang, it is incredible to have a month long arts festival. It is the time for me to see what other creatives are doing and to share ideas.
This year you can read all about it in Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia and follow my insiders guide to the festival.
Tiffany Choong’s George Town Fringe | Harper’s Bazaar Malaysia
“Two weeks in and BAZAAR Stylish Woman 2014, as well as Bulan Lifestyle bag designer and artist, Tiffany Choong, leads us through the sights and sounds, curious little side paths (and, of course, cocktails and cafés) of George Town during the ubiquitous George Town Festival 2015 — when an entire city is turned into a thriving arts and cultural hub for a whole month, even garnering international coverage. The brainchild of Joe Sidek, it’s literally when art takes to the streets and everyone, from all walks of life — from entrepreneur to auteur — participates. From her favourite after-hours drink spot — Chulia Court on 355 Lebuh Chulia for their fresh pineapple mojitos, thank you — to where you should go for a little post-festival Shavasana, harpersbazaar.my presents 10 things to try when you’re in Penang this August.”

I find tree hugging better than people hugging. Yes they don’t talk back! Lol

darn like button. Comment disappeared. Do you mean “really” hug trees? (have I ever done that? Don’t think so.) You hug a mango tree and get all sticky form the sap? Isn’t people hugging more rewarding? But then trees don’t argue, so you have a point. be good. 🙂

Funny you said that. I’ve been hugging trees all day 😂😂

Bigger than a book? So it’s a tree now? 🙂

That list is growing into a book. 🙂 I think need to get some things done before adding more “to-do”. Ha! 🙂
August 26, 2015 at 18:23
Yes you must! Write that on the to do list ✨👍

I find it always very rewarding to meet creative people. In whatever field. They (you) always leave me with something to ponder. I think I need to organize a Georgetown festival in Mexico! 🙂

The festival has been filled with activities and really fun meeting creative people that it has attracted. Last week and I’m out of here 💕

So the festival is almost over. How do you feel about it? Has been a success? (I’m sure it has)
Have a lovely rest of the week. Here it is Tuesday still. Twentt to seven PM. According to the world time clock you are 13 hours ahead. Already well into Wednesday. Bonne fin de semaine.
