Our Belief: Education plays a crucial role in empowering communities by reducing inequalities. It serves as a transformative force, breaking the cycle of poverty and enabling individuals to reach their full potential.

Our Belief: We cannot have creative solutions to problems without creative people. Art is an integral aspect of creating well-rounded individuals in society.

Creador Foundation proudly supports the Krishen Jit Fund, an initiative that fosters experimental creative work in Malaysia. The fund celebrates original Malaysian art across disciplines and encourages innovative expression. 

• With grants ranging from RM1,000 to RM20,000, the Krishen Jit Fund has supported 84 projects over 17 years, empowering arts practitioners to explore workshops, residencies, productions, research, writing, and more.

Creador Foundation was a proud supporter of KL-WKND; an event initialized as part of Cultural Economy Development Agency (CENDANA)’s year-long Art in the City (AITC) programme with a focus to an inclusive platform for the creative talents within and outside Kuala Lumpur.

• KL-WKND content was curated to encompass the arts and cultures in various forms; opera, dance, music, visual arts, creative products, food, literature, heritage, nature and more.

Creador Foundation supported the KL Performing Art Centre’s (KLPAC) Theatre for Young People (T4YP) from 2019-2021, one of the longest-running English youth theatre training programme in Malaysia. 

• Driven by the idea that the arts can inspire creative, courageous and confident young people, the programme provides a platform for performing arts enthusiasts aged 16 to 25 to develop their performance skills. 

• T4YP is a key programme in ensuring that the performing arts scene in Malaysia continues to thrive and grow. Many students who have graduated from the programme go on to have a career in the performing arts.
