Borak Arts Series | Call for Preliminary Expressions of Interest

None borak-art-burong-4

MyPAA Malaysia, a member of the International Federation of Arts Councils and Culture Agencies (IFACCA),  is seeking preliminary expressions of interest in hosting the 6th and 7th Borak Arts SeriesTM to be held in the period of late-2018 and late-2019 respectively.

Borak Arts SeriesTM serves as a platform for artistes, managers, presenters/producers, intermediaries, funders, agents, festival directors, venue programmers and art and culture enthusiasts to take discussions forward to break boundaries and strengthen relationships across ASEAN communities and beyond. The boutique conference has gained traction as a brand value known within the arts and cultural sector at a local and international level with a media value amounting to MYR 10million and has hosted more than 800 delegates from 14 countries, including from ASEAN, Japan, Korea, Ukraine, the United States, Australia and India, only to name a few.

The first two Borak Arts SeriesTM were organised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in 2013 and 2014. In 2015 and 2016, Borak Arts SeriesTM was hosted in Georgetown, Penang, Malaysia, under the programming of the internationally renowned, George Town Festival. Borak Arts SeriesTM 2017 returns to Kuala Lumpur on 14 – 15 October 2017. More information can be found at http://www.borakarts.com or http://mypaa.com.my/borakarts/. Documentations on the past Borak Arts Series can be retrieved from http://www.arteri.com.my/2016/08/12/borak-arts-series/
The selection of the host for the 6th and 7th Borak Arts SeriesTM will take place in two stages:

  1. The submission of a Preliminary Expression of Interest, and

  2. The submission of a Final Proposal from those countries that have been shortlisted


The guidelines for Expressions of Interest and Final Proposals can be reviewed at this link: http://www.borakarts.com/bids/

The deadline for the submission of Preliminary Expression of Interest is before 31 January 2017 at 17:00 EDT.
