Pinang's Pinang is an art centre in George Town, Penang. It occupies two adjoining restored shophouses along Kinta Lane, across from Hotel Sentral. The centre was originally set up by the Penang Entrepreneurs Counseling Society, or PECS, and was taken over as his personal gallery by local artist Simon Tan in November, 2013
Pinang's Pinang is used as a venue for cultural and creative training. The resulting works of art are also put on display and sold at the centre. Among the items put for sale at Pinang's Pinang are traditional Nyonya baskets, called Siah Nah, various candles and aromatherapy oils, spices, potpourri, and artwork. On the upper level of Pinang's Pinang are rooms that are let out for various activities and classes.

The walls of Pinang's Pinang are now adorned with works by Simon Tan under different mediums. There is also an interesting mural is artist Louis Gan entitled "Nostalgic Meal Order". It graces the outer wall of the centre. Gan held his first mini solo exhibition here from 16 March to 14 April, 2013, showcasing some 18 pieces of his work.
Upon taking over Pinang's Pinang, Simon also added one of his Akong murals on the exterior wall, continuing the series that celebrates family bonds. The mural is located just next to the one by Louis Gan.
Pinang's Pinang is presently open from Mondays to Saturdays from 9:00 am to 5:30 pm. There are plans to open it on Sundays as well, in the future.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
