Ikano Centres launches Creative Spark @ Batu Kawan

Ikano Centres and IKEA Batu Kawan team are proud to announce the launch of Creative Spark at Batu Kawan, with our new interactive graffiti mural situated at the first phase of our shopping centre in Batu Kawan. Entitled “Building Yourself”, the drawing celebrates our modern generation and their ambition to strive for a boundless future. Whether you are watching your dreams take flight or in the midst of building it, the artwork sends a message that we will always have each other’s backs through journeys of self-discovery. This overall message relates to Batu Kawan – a newly built township that offers endless possibilities to anyone who seeks it. The goal is to build a community that supports, complements and empowers one another at our meet place in Batu Kawan.

The mural was completed by the renowned artist Leonard Siaw with the assistance of three arts graduates under his mentorship. It is the second largest outdoor painted mural in Penang and is the pilot project under Ikano Centres’ Creative Spark, a platform celebrating and empowering communities through the arts. Launched in Mid-March, it has the support of the Penang State Art Gallery Chairman.

This project is aligned with Penang Tourism and PDC’s vision to transform Batu Kawan in a city of the arts. This is the start of many exciting street-art projects taking place in Batu Kawan and will secure our destination as an iconic and must-go-to street arts hub in Penang.
