The 32-year-old Five Arts Centre recently received a very prestigious grant presented by the Japan Art Foundation. The grant not only recognizes the arts collective’s community engagement in the past, but provides the resources for Five Arts Centre to continue to engage and involve young people in the arts. We find out what lies ahead and how far this grant of 5 million yen (over RM200k) will reach in the company’s activities.
