No man is an island.

The same can clearly be said for Art Residencies!

sembilan is the cumulative effort of a number of organisations, with an interest for Asian art at heart.

At the core of it is ArtQulture, an online magazine that brings you reviews, opinions and stories about projects and talents that embody the creative culture.

ArtQulture's role within sembilan is to discover, develop and increase awareness of local artists in the south east asian region by providing them with an opportunity to be part of the sembilan Art Residency Program.

Hotel Sun Lun Yik is a proud sponsor of accommodation to sembilan's artist in residence. It has been a feature of Seremban old town since the 1960s. It is located in the heart of Seremban town, directly opposite the iconic Pasar Besar. It is positioned within walking distance to many of Seremban's old town highlights.

The building has since been rejuvenated into a boutique, heritage-styled hotel that maintains the charming character of the building, while providing guests with modern comfort and amenities. Some of the art work produced during the artist's residency with sembilan will be exhibited within the hotel. So please feel free to drop by the hotel for a visit.
