IMMERSIOx is an interactive event held from August 2 – 10, 2025  at the UAB Building in George Town (11 AM–7:30 PM, free admission) and is part of the 2025 George Town Festival. This bold digital art exhibition brings the immersive future to Penang—featuring interactive installations, projection mapping, and new-media artworks that invite visitors to explore, touch, and engage with space and perception in fresh ways.

It’s a tactile, full-body experience designed to blur the lines between art and reality.

The Nine Emperor Gods Photo Exhibition

Sometime back in early July this year, there was a special photo exhibition along Cheong Fatt Tze Street which was featured as part of the events of Georgetown Festival 2013. This unique exhibition by freelance photographer Cheryl J Hoffmann touches on the Nine Emperor Gods festival which was widely celebrated by the locals. Below are some of her beautiful shots on display;
