Ravaged by pandemic, art industry moots tax incentives to encourage local buyers and patrons

GEORGE TOWN, Oct 24 — The art industry was among those hit hardest by the 18 months of the Covid-19 pandemic and needed urgent support for survival, according to Penang Art Society president Ch’ng Huck Theng.

He said the only way to bring back some life to the industry was for the government to provide some form of incentive to individuals and corporations to support the local artists. Since the pandemic first struck Malaysia, several small art galleries in Penang have closed down while many struggling local artists have had to find side work to make ends meet.

“The online platforms allow artists to gain a wider audience and market that they themselves can go direct to the collectors or buyers,” he said. “They should look into creating hybrid exhibitions and sales so that they can reach out to clientele who visit the gallery physically while at the same time, create a presence online too,” he said.

Tan said she has continued to organise hybrid shows where the exhibition is open to customers who had to book an appointment first before visiting the exhibition and she has also sent e-catalogues of the exhibition to her list of art collectors.
