To encourage more diverse and critical writing on art in the local context, Penang Art District launches an Art Writing Programme to provide a platform for writers to expand their thinking and hone their critical writing skills with a focus on visual art. This programme will benefit young writers who are interested in learning to write critically about art and in expanding their writing career, researchers, art history or art management students, and curators or cultural programmers who are eager to learn story-telling skills for their projects.

The programme kicks off with A Short Introductory Course designed by Rogue Art – held in Penang and tailored to offer hands-on and practical guidance with a feedback and critique component at the end of the course.

Over the three weekends, participants will have the opportunity to learn from art professionals such as journalists, curators, art researchers, and academicians. This course is geared for English medium writing, and is open to participants from different backgrounds and experiences, although some background in art would be beneficial.
