Originally from Penang, Malaysia, Jack Wong has been the director of the George Town Festival since 2019. The Festival, or GTF as it is friendly known, is an annual arts and culture festival held in Penang to celebrate the inclusion of the state capital, George Town, on the UNESCO World Heritage List. First held in 2010, the festival is a platform for local and international artists to showcase their artwork and originality, while allowing the festival's audience to experience the state's diverse arts and cultural scene, which encompasses dance, music, theater, film, photography and more. As festival director, Wong is committed to ensuring that the Festival offers all types of high-quality arts experiences to everyone, from festival-goers to arts communities, the general public and underserved groups, regardless of age, ethnicity or background.
