MIKI CHOONG AND DATO KEE HUA CHEE WHO WON BEST DRESSED AS HE FAITHFULLY FOLLOWED THE DRESS CODE OF 'GREEN IS IN'!
LAUNCH OF ARTESPREE AT NATIONAL ART GALLERY
"ArteSpree, an online art platform from Malaysia, focuses on bringing together
the art community. While its operations will focus mainly in its
homeland Malaysia, ArteSpree welcomes the participation of art lovers, artists,
galleries and collectors from around the world.
Its mantra is to
democratize art through building awareness and access to greater audiences,
starting from Malaysia and then to the world. Art in all forms have a
story to tell and ArteSpree hopes to tell it and share it with the world.
Art is a form of common
language that transcend borders. The Same piece of art may bring together
a common yet localized perspective of the same matter. Art and culture
connects and brings unity among different nations, something that binds people
together.
The second highlight of
the day would be the WED Malaysia purpose. Mi-Ki Choong is currently the
Global Ambassador Malaysia for Women’s Entrepreneurship Day (WED) held in
United Nations, New York in November. WED is a global initiative with the
mission to celebrate, support and empower women in business to alleviate
poverty.
Her role is to think global, act local. ArteSpree is a
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) project under Centurise Group which Mi-Ki
Choong developed to assist the local art community to be highlighted in WED,
United Nations.
In order to support and empower women, the entire art
community must be assisted as a whole.
Specifically for women
ambassadors gracing this event, their presence not only highlights the
importance of women in leadership positions, but also showcase the successes of
women in contributing to the world’s development ; may it be women in politics,
women in leadership, women in entrepreneurship, to women in effecting change
for the betterment in other women through inspirational role models, or for the
betterment of the world as a whole.
The launch is in
collaboration between National Art Gallery (NAG) and ArteSpree, in promoting
artworks on ArteSpree online art platform before, during and after the
exhibition is also part of the monetizing culture which is one of the
initiatives taken by NAG, as we need to look at art as an asset rich component
under the vision of the government of Malaysia to assist the art
industry.
ArteSpree is a CSR
project under Centurise Group, which has just recently signed a Memorandum of
Understanding with NAG. The collaboration has successfully attracted
additional participation and sign up of several local artists on ArteSpree
platform.
The launch of ArteSpree at NAG marks the commencement of
operations of ArteSpree online art platform for the art communities and general
public. It is foreseen that many more local renowned and emerging artists
are to participate and sign up to this platform subsequent to the Launch, which
ArteSpree welcomes.
ArteSpree would also
like to thank NAG for the collaboration to support the local art community and
industry.
Unity through Art,
Diversity through Inclusion, Participation from All to make a better tomorrow !"
