To further HEART’s mission of promoting upcoming talent the“HEARTist of the Month” initiative was launched. HEARTist of the Month is a program where one upcoming artist is selected every month to create their own event at HEART using HEART’s monthly Community Budget of RM916. It was created with the thought to empower young, upcoming artists by providing them with a platform to showcase their talents and grow their audience. Selection of the featured artist will prioritize HEART’s tenants, but the public is more than welcome to join our HEART community.
Each month, one talented upcoming artist will be selected as the HEARTist of the Month. This artist will be given the opportunity to organize an art-related event or workshop, supported by HEART.
Details of the program include:
-
