and take part in Walk For Water, a 2km walk symbolic of the gruelling distances
women who live in areas without clean water supply have to walk to fetch freshwater.
This Malaysian leg of Aveda’s Walk For Water is in support of EcoKnight’s
Mantanani Project’s pilot programme “H2O – Help 2 Offer Clean Drinking Water to
Mantanani”. The island in Sabah is a popular tourist dive site but the locals do not
even have potable freshwater supply. The project’s master plan includes securing
Mantanani Island Conservation status and finding sustainable economic livelihoods
for the islanders.
The funds derived from this activity will be channelled to provide safe drinking water
to the communities in Mantanani. Additional funds will be used to kick start water
awareness programmes with the villagers.

8. NOT FOR SALE
26 March – 2 April
White Box @ MAPKL
Admission is Free
----------------------------
In celebration of its 3rd anniversary, MAP brings together friends who are artists, art
collectors and gallery owners to showcase artworks that are NOT FOR SALE. The
show attempts to explore the ‘exclusive’ relationships between the artworks and its
owners in the context of an exuberant art market. It is about the negotiation between
spiritual values and commercial values. Artworks submitted may include a collectors’
most notable/ inspirational acquisition, an artist’s most revealing/revolting work, or a
‘special’ gift/inheritance, or perhaps in one’s opinion the ‘best art ever’. The show
attempts a reading of ownership as a reaction of desires and self-identity. It also
seeks to address the narratives between the object and the subject, the material and
immaterial, ‘matter’ and ‘what really matters’. NOT FOR SALE exhibition will be held
at the white box, MAP from 26 march until 08 April 2013, and precedes the henry
butcher art auction 2013 exhibition.
Participants include, artists such as Gan Chin Lee, Carolyn Lau, Poodien, Jalaini
Hassan, Ahmad Zakii Anwar, collectors U-Wei Hj Saari, Pakhruddin and Fatima,
Bingley Iskandar Abdullah, Ng Sek San, Dr. Steve Wong and gallerists, Nazli Aziz,
Nabil Nahar, Dato’ Parameswaran, S. Jamal Al-Idrus & U-C Loh, Kenny Teng, Richard
Koh.

DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMMES

Also available are two development programmes aimed at helping to grow the performing arts industry:

1. Mentor-mentee Programme
This programme is for people who would like to stage a production but have little or no experience at doing so.
Mentees receive a monthly stipend of RM1,800 to cover their cost of living during the programme as well as RM100,000 to stage their production.
Mentors selected for the programme will receive a token sum of RM5,000 for their participation.

2. Apprentice Programme
This programme is targeted at individuals who would like to pursue a career in the performing arts industry but have little financial support to do so.
Therefore, apprentices will be placed at a performing arts company until December 2013 and receive a monthly stipend of RM1,800 to cover their cost of living
This is the first time that the government has made such grants and programmes available to the performing arts industry of Malaysia and in order for them to continue, we need to have a lot of applications to show them that there is a need for such financial assistance!

We are also seeking your recommendations for potential mentors and companies to host apprentices in your state (and region).

As it stands, we have many suggestions but most of them are based in the Klang Valley region and most are too theatre centric.

Additionally, if you (and other companies in your region) would like to employ interns or apprentices but don’t have the resources to do so, you can encourage them to apply and state in their applications that they would like to work at your organisation.

To find out more about these grants and programmes, visit: http://grants.kakiseni.com.

The submission deadline for applications falls on 31 March 2013 and 30 April 2013 so we hope to hear from you soon!
