Hin Company Ltd was one of the many private companies awarded motorbus licenses to operate on the island after World War II. To house and maintain their buses near their main town operations base, the Hin Company built the bus depot along Brick Kiln Road (now known as Jalan Gurdwara) in 1947. Hin Bus Depot is a former bus depot in Penang, Malaysia. The shabby, dilapidated building came into the possession of a company owned by three families in 2010. It was only when Ernest Zacharevic's 2014 Art is Rubbish is Art exhibition that the space took its first transformative steps.

Began as a space run by independent artists, Hin Bus Depot has since evolved into a community project run on the belief that there should be no limit to art expression—and that each person, no matter their profession, is an art lover and collector at heart. Today, Hin Bus Depot is managed by a small but passionate creative collective working togh the community to sustain the depot as a space that supports and showcases progressive and upcoming artists, artworks, events, and art forms of all kinds.
