The Street Art of George Town in Penang is one of the most attractive things of this UNESCO World Heritage Town. Penang street art gallery is beautified with a splash of colors on street side murals, captivating steel sculptures, wall painting and commercial art. In 2012, Municipal Corporation decided to create a plethora of art depicting the rich history of Penang's George Town on its streets. Filled with imaginations and vivid art along the Muntri Street, Weld Quay, Lebuh Leith, Armenian Street, Ah Quee Street, Penang Art Street Gallery is splashed with these beautiful artworks and caricatures just with bottles of spray paint in the hands of painters like Ernest Zacharevic, Baba Chuah, and many others.

Many eminent artists have contributed to the street art of George Town, including a famous local artist named Tang Mun Kian, who pitched the theme- 'Voices of People' which was a way of telling Penang's history through the wit of its locales. One artist whose artworks have overpowered the other is the London-trained Lithuanian artist, Ernest Zacharevic. His work led tourists to pose against the beautiful illustrations which were otherwise just plain bleak walls. Soon after photos of Geroge Town's street art were made popular on social media, an array of artists head to the streets of George Town to make their contributions too.
