by Anne Das

Ladies and gentlemen, art aficionados, and seekers of creative wonders, get ready for an artistic roller coaster ride that will leave you exhilarated and inspired! Art Ipoh 2.0, the ultimate celebration of creativity and culture, is about to sweep you off your feet and take you on a journey through a kaleidoscope of “Colours of Ipoh.”

The Art Ipoh 2.0 event is organised by Tin Alley visionary, Mr. Kai Lek Tan and led by the artist extraordinaire, Mr. Philip Wong. They and their teams are all set to transform Tin Alley into an artistic playground of creative fun from 26th August to 1st October 2023.

Hold onto your hats, folks! This is not your average art exhibition. Prepare to be charmed by a tapestry of artistic expressions, from larger-than-life installations that will challenge your perceptions to intricate sculptures that invite touch and exploration.

Meet emerging artists in the fields of architecture and illustration, to college students and even special needs artists, everyone’s voice is celebrated and cherished in this grand celebration of creativity. Be part of a community that thrives on the magic of art, where connections are forged, and imaginations run wild. And that’s not all – get hands-on and join in the creative workshops led by skilled artists.

Art Ipoh 2.0 isn’t just about showcasing art; it’s about celebrating the essence of community and nurturing emerging talents. As Phillip Wong passionately puts it, “We aim to provide a platform for artists and creative professionals to come together and showcase their passion and ingenuity. In doing collaborations, we are bringing people together, and the public can enjoy it with their families. There is something for everyone!”

But wait, there’s more! There will be Food! Lots of Food! What’s a fiesta without food?

Come savour the delights from various food stalls that should take you down a fond memory lane. From local delights that celebrate Ipoh’s rich culinary heritage to international flavours that will whisk you away to far-off lands, your taste buds are in for a treat!

Art Ipoh 2.0 advocates a celebration that unites us all, igniting the spark of creativity and fostering a sense of pride in our culture and heritage. Let’s mark our calendars and rally our friends and family! Art Ipoh 2.0 is an experience that will leave you delightfully inspired.

Join us at Tin Alley, Ipoh, from 26th August to 1st October 2023, and let the magic of art envelop you.
