This is the first ever collaboration between Starbucks and Dulux in showcasing the local talents in mural art. Through this collaboration, Starbucks Malaysia and Dulux Paint strongly believe that this project will create a platform for the local talents to showcase their creativity in mural arts and embrace the Malaysia’s culture and lifestyle. The selected Starbucks stores for this project could also be a great point of attractions for both tourist and the locals. In Klang Valley region, the project was kicked off at Starbucks Jalan Ampang Drive-Thru, with 23 artists on-board in this project. Whereas in Penang, Starbucks Malaysia has worked with art lecturers and 5 students from Equator College, Academy of Art to create beautiful wall art using elements inspired by the colors of summer, Starbucks Frappuccino®, and Penang culture and lifestyle at the wall of Starbucks Tanjung Tokong Drive-Thru. More stores will be involved in this project in coming future.
“We want Starbucks to become one of the platform for young local artist to showcase their talent. It is such an amazing feeling to see how talented the Malaysian young artists are” said Mr. Sydney Quays, CEO of Berjaya Food Berhad. “Today, these artists get to show their personality by expressing their colors and creativity through mural art at Starbucks. We are excited to see how creatively they are at expressing their summer feel. Now our customers can enjoy the beautiful view of mural arts at our store while enjoying their favorite cup of Frappuccino® this summer.”
“We are very excited to join forces with Starbucks to set an avenue for the talented artist to showcase their creativity with the colors of summer. This noble effort is in tuned to AkzoNobel’s insistent effort to support the sustainability of local talent and creating everyday essentials to make people’s lives more liveable and inspiring. We at AkzoNobel recognise the charm and the significance of colours and believe in the power of paint to transform lives by uplifting communities, changing behavior and making living spaces more fun, livable and enjoyable. No longer blank canvases, these walls will become tools for inspiration, connection and activity.” said Mr. Indra Laban, General Manager of AkzoNobel Decorative Paints Malaysia.

Adeline Shatsala, coming from banking and finance background has taken the opportunity to do what she is always passionate about. “I love drawing and I picked up doodling when I was young.
