Astro in collaboration with Creador Foundation and Five Arts Centre has awarded six grants to creative Malaysians worth a total of RM57,000, ranging from RM5,000 to RM15,000 through the Krishen Jit Fund.
This year, there were a total of 62 applications and the grants were presented to six extraordinary grantees, who are Taha Long, Deepak Kumaran Menon, Dylan Yeo Kok Siong, Goh Choon Ean, Low Hsin Yin and Vesant Nair to pursue their love of arts at the Temu-Temu Space at GMBB.
Grants are given for training, workshops, attachments or residencies, experimental productions, writing, or creating new work in music, dance, theatre, film, visual or performance art. This round, the outstanding grantees have brought us an immersive performance, an anthology of eight short films, a stage play, a publication, a table-top game and a family/drama short film.

To date, over 80 grants amounting to more than RM600,000 have been awarded to the next inspiring generation.
