A vacant factory can contribute to the nurturing of creative talents? The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre Project, jointly launched by the Hong Kong Baptist University(HKBU), Hong Kong Arts Development Council(ADC) and Hong Kong Arts Centre(HKAC), is aiming to turn the vacant Shek Kip Mei Factory Estate into a hub of arts and culture. It marks a new cultural era in Hong Kong.
As Mr Ma Fung-kwok, Chairman of ADC, said: "The Centre will provide ample opportunities for the development of local arts practitioners and arts groups, allowing them to take root in the community and bring arts closer to the masses." Therefore, input and support from all walks of life are of utmost importance to the success of the Centre and we look forward to seeing you during the following consultation sessions:
