About Us

This mountain town is Penang last piece of backyard garden, but was swept down by the development torrent in early years. There are lots of century-old traditional wooden house, Malay styled village, fishing port and 10 decade-old trees, has been destroyed recklessly by developer, without any good planning and protection from the authority.

Under what circumstance, a group of artists who are in love of mountain town’s nature and traditional culture, but unable to resist bulldozer daily works, which make their heart in tears. At the same time, set up an art society suddenly come to their mind, calling out the artist all over the world. In the way of artistic, to defend this pretty town. Many of artists from the world in response to the call, and showing their support, which lead Balik Pulau Art Society from merely 50 members to 160 nowadays.

关于协会

浮罗山背艺术协会成立于2011年,目前拥有160位来自国内艺术家会员。当初成立浮罗山背艺术协会,目的很明确,就是希望通过艺术,守护一座美丽的山城 —— 浮罗山背。

这个当时背展洪流冲击得体无完肤的山城,是槟城最后一个后花园。当时许多的百年传统老木屋,马来乡村和鱼港,百年老树,在没有受到当局的良好规划保护下,被发展商肆无忌惮的摧毁。

这种情况,让一群热爱山城大自然与传统文化的艺术家看在眼里,却无力抵挡每天开动的推土机,痛得心在滴血。就在这时,他们顿时起了个念头,成立一个艺术协会,呼唤全世界的艺术家过来,一同用艺术,守护这座美丽的小镇。就这样,世界各地的艺术家响应呼号,纷纷过来支持,浮罗山背艺术协会由也当初的50人,发展到今天的160人。

这里已经成功举办了无数次的艺术节,不少公众艺术也出现在小城各个角落,包括壁画,和一座全马唯一的艺术码头。浮罗山背艺术协会也在每年都获得槟城州画廊邀请,在每年的7月,榴莲盛开的季节,在槟城州画廊举办会员年展。

今年我们庆祝成立12周年,我们的会员常年画展,已经发展到分为线下的画廊实体展,和线上的国际网络展。今天的浮罗山背,也在协会会员努力推动下,成了国际知名的艺术重地,每年都吸引成千上万的游客,与艺术家,到来做生态 旅游与画画写生。我们也经常举办国际艺术营,让本土画家与国际艺术家,获得互相观摩,彼此学习与交流的平台。

让我们感到最欣慰的是,浮罗山背的绿色,蓝天白云,终于在艺术家们的扶持下,成功保留了下来。
