Kelola is a national non-profit organization
established in 1999 to enhance and promote the vitality of Indonesian arts. It
works directly with Indonesian arts practitioners, across nationwide
communities, in response to the needs by providing access to learning
opportunities, funding, and information. Kelola also promotes cultural exchange
by facilitating artists and art practitioners to engage in dialogue, gain and
share skills and knowledge, as well as to build networks within Indonesia and
with the international cultural communities.

Creative
Communities II (KK-II) Program is a follow up of the Creative Communities I
(KK-I), which was implemented from 2008 to 2010 in 29 districts in West
Sumatra, Central Java and East Nusa Tenggara. This program was launched as part
of the National Program for Community Empowerment (PNPM Mandiri) to strengthen
the process of community empowerment. KK-I has demonstrated that using a
cultural approach is an effective way to increase citizen participation and
help PNPM to interact more closely with poor and marginalized citizens.

KK-II
will extend the reach of Creative Communities. It aims to increase community
participation and include more marginalized groups in community
decision-making. KK-II will use cultural and creative expressions to develop an
empowerment process facilitated through collaborations between cultural
communities and marginalized groups, and by encouraging local cultural groups
and activists to support and empower local communities.
