SUPPORTERS: Annexe Grants For Grabs & Matahati Art Fund

CAIS Project is also supported by the Annexe Grants for Grabs as well as the Matahati Art Fund.



The Annexe's Grants For Grabs is made possible by an inaugural donation of RM 50,000.00 by Fashion Inc's Mana Batik exhibition. The Annexe at Central Market, which came into existence in January 2007, has become a space much loved for its accessibility, artist-audience interactivity and alternative nature. It hosts all manner of art form and expression and has attracted projects that are experimental, multidisciplinary and socially conscious. In an effort to help create an artistically aware and critical public, The Annexe also provides workshops that offer participants an avenue to gain new skills and perspectives, exchange views and express themselves. The Annexe's Grants For Grabs naturally follows this vision.



Do drop by here to witness the Grants Giving Ceremony to all 7 recipients including CAIS. Do see if you can spot one of our representatives there?!



The Matahati Art Fund is set aside and prepared for the support of our local artists and art scene. It is intended to assist in the welfare of those artists in need, which includes incidences involving natural disasters, accidents or health issues. The Art Fund can also be used as a grant for artists initiating art projects and art activities.

CAIS Project is truly blessed to have garnered the support from these two benevolent funds and we're truly honoured and proud to execute this project with these bodies behind us.
