This is certainly not a news, but it could be new to some of our members. Do take note of it which happens in Seremban.
对我们一些会员，可能没听过这个留驻画家计划。既然是出现在芙蓉的事情，不妨注意一下：
We pasted here the description about the organization from its website: www.sembilan.com.my :
以下是从有关组织网页www.sembilan.com.my抄下的简介：
sembilan was founded to support local emerging artists by providing them with a conducive workspace and living arrangement to creatively explore and express their ideas - along with the opportunity to exhibit their work at the end of the residency.
The program provides artists with a dedicated art space within a 1919 pre-war building in Negeri Sembilan, which has been recently renovated. It is approximately 2,000 square feet in size with plenty of blank walls and a wide, open space.
For 3 relaxing months, artists in residence will stay at a newly rejuvenated, heritage-styled hotel. Built in the 1950s, Sun Lun Yik Hotel was carefully restored in 2014 and is only a short stroll away from the art space.
（按：Sun Lun Yik Hotel 是巴刹对面的新联益旅店）
Three times a year, sembilan will host group exhibitions for its residents to showcase their body of work in various exciting locations around Malaysia.
The residency is located in the state of Negeri Sembilan, along the fringes of Seremban's charming old town. It is approximately 45 minutes from Kuala Lumpur by car.
The Program also aims to introduce a different side of Negeri Sembilan to gallery owners, collectors, curators, artists and other art enthusiast by hosting studio visits and art-related networking events.
A platform for emerging artists to grow and develop

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.
