IntroductionJoyce Tang Siam ChengProducer, INXO Arts Fund | Executive Director, INXO Foundation
The Malaysian culture and arts scene comprises artist groups of diverse interests and focuses; each with their own set of ideals and struggles. The path is lined with myriad obstacles and deterrents, erecting a psychological wall of barrier to any would-be aspirants and a monumental challenge to national development of cultures and arts.
INXO aims to become Malaysia’s premier culture and arts development platform, thus INXO Arts Fund – A Funding Project for Cultural & Arts Creation aspires to be the launch pad to accelerate broader artistic participation among new, young artistic talents in the region and to elevate artistic practice and production standards for advanced professional development. INXO Arts Fund serves as an enabler and multiplier of cultural and arts development for the young generation and provides in addition to funding, conceptual and technical guidance, support and resources.
We look forward to your joining hands with us to discover and unleash the torrents of cultural and artistic uniqueness and diversity with which our country is so richly endowed. Let Malaysia arts flourish and blossom.
