- 2014 / 7 / 9
Through referrals by our newly setup social enterprise, ADAM, a number of our artists with disabilities has been cooperated with the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) to display their artworks at Congress Plus, a newly reopened restaurant at HKCEC. Apart from paintings and photography, artworks with a variety of art genre and media are also exhibited, including 3D artworks such as soft ceramics and porcelain painting. The exhibition has started in July which already received sound appreciation. ADAM is looking forward to more collaboration possibilities in the future, enabling our artists to contribute to the society through their artistic talents.
A total of 10 artists were invited, including ADA Angel Ko Nam, Liu Tung Mui, Jack Li; Green Leaf Artists Kevin Cheng, Registered artists with disabilities Ngai Wai Shun, Wong Shek Wong, Wong Chi Wah, Lee Wing Yi, Law Chi Kei and Lo Yip Nang.
Artists were also invited to Congress Plus to the soft launching dinner event on 9th July, 2014 before the reopening of the restaurant. Artists with disabilities exchanged views with guests and introduced their concept for creating the artworks. Artists with disabilities were encouraged by having such cooperation to exhibit their artworks at main stream venue and they hope to bring more new creations in the near future.
Artworks are displayed in the entrance corridor of the restaurant, hence can be seen at a glance. Diners can appreciate artworks by our artists with disabilities, and the artworks help create an artistic atmosphere to the restaurant.
