BINTULU: Naim Street Mall at Bintulu Paragon will be organising its inaugural Community Cultural and Arts Festival 2022 (#CCAF 2022) from Nov 25-27 to propel the local arts and culture scene in Sarawak to the next level.
With the theme “Strengthening a Sense of Community through Arts and Culture’, #CCAF 2022 will be focused on highlighting local talents and artists, creative individuals aged seven to 17 are encouraged to participate in the drawing competition from Nov 23-24.
#CCAF 2022 is supported by Bintulu Development Authority, Persatuan Penggerak Pelancongan Bintulu, Persatuan Usahawan Kraf Sarawak, Pejabat Pendidikan Daerah Bintulu and Kelab Guru Seri Bintulu.
“With the progressive easing of restrictions and opening-up of communities, we would like to provide opportunities for artists and the public to come together to celebrate and preserve our cultural heritage.
“With this in mind, we have invited renowned local artists to set up booths at the #CCAF 2022. They are encouraged to take part in the various activities such as the art exhibitions, live music performances and many more,” said its deputy chief operating officer (technical cum regional general manager of Bintulu) Thomas Wong.
A platform to deliver inclusive art experiences to Malaysians, the first-ever #CCAF will feature artworks and crafts by renowned local artists, including batik paintings by Noel Belulok, wall batik painting by Abdul Malik Adenan and many more.
There will also be special performances by Florence Lo and Melissa Francis, both popular Sarawakian singers.
