First Phase of the Project : THE BIRTH OF CAIS PROJECT

The idea for this project has sprouted sometime beginning of this year. It has been progressively developed with a very positive note since January.

After being approached by the principal of Stella Maris High School, Margaret Martinez, who expressed her interest in initiating an art project and event for the school with the intention of exposing students to contemporary art, we ( a team of 6 people who are passionate in promoting art educational project) decided to take this up and run with it! We figured this is something quite new in Malaysia, and seeing that there weren't many public art program similar to this being organized in the country---a sad situation from the lack of support from the government---why don't we take matters into our own hands and start doing something.

And thus, CAIS Project - "Contemporary Art in School Project" was born. Carried with it the hope of creating more opportunities to educate the younger generation about contemporary art in school.
