Penang Street Art (Art Murals at Sungai Ara)

The new 3D murals, “Ice Cream Seller” and “Hide and Seek,” have quickly become a popular attraction in Taman Jajar, Sungai Ara. Created by artist Andersen Tan I-Han and unveiled on January 6, 2025, these murals feature local figures, such as an ice cream seller and neighborhood children. This project is part of an initiative to improve the aesthetics and cultural identity of Sungai Ara. The murals have transformed a once-empty space into a vibrant spot for photography, fostering community engagement and pride. There are plans to add more murals in the future to further enhance the area’s appeal as a cultural hub.
