There might be some overlapping content or causes, but it’s good to find the virtual arts “hubs” here alive and well, with many of them tuned in to the challenges of the day, and working with their communities to improve things in these difficult times.After a massive housekeeping exercise and user upgrade, theatre collective Five Arts Centre can now boast a new website that is a one-stop centre, detailing its past, present and future.

“There were several motivations behind this new website. In the last few years, we’ve supported the development of two online resources that we hope will benefit the larger ecosystem by archiving and ‘historicising’ local performing arts practice – for students, researchers, educators, and practitioners,” says Mark Teh of Five Arts Centre.

The “Process” blog is also a window into Five Arts Centre’s operations. You can read interviews with Krishen Jit Fund recipients, follow Five Arts Centre’s moving out progress as it leaves its TTDI home, the search for a new arts space and more.Independent arts website Eksentrika has come into its own during the past 18 months as it increased its virtual content and arts community engagement.

KL might be in lockdown, but this bilingual site never sleeps. It is a great place to get the latest news about the capital’s music, visual art and performing arts scene.At a click, you will find stories surrounding classic theatre productions, interviews with arts personalities and useful info about Cendana’s projects, grant programmes and more.
