First Phase of the Project : CURATORIAL MEETING in APRIL

This time around, we had our curatorial meeting at Tay Sy's house.

It was already three months into the project planning, we were struck by how little time we had, seeing that the project was to be held at the end of August.

All of us who are involved in this project would really like to make this an annual program, but funding is a big concern. In order to run a public art program like this in Malaysia, private funding (such as art grant and sponsorship) is the only possible source of support. Yet, we are determined to make the event an insightful and memorable experience for the students at Stella Maris High School. Hopefully through this first attempt, it will successfully demonstrate to others the possibility of running an art program similar to CAIS Project in other schools, resulting a collective effort to create more awareness and appreciation of contemporary art among our younger generation in this country.
