HKAGA SUMMER PROGRAMME 2023
Connecting Young Local Art Talents and Galleries
Submission deadline 22 May 2023

 

Following the success of the Summer Programme in 2021-2022 which already connected 36 local artists/curators/writers to 19 galleries, The Hong Kong Art Gallery Association (HKAGA) is pleased to organise the 3rd edition of HKAGA Summer Programme this year with the aim of nurturing the next generation of art talents.

Organised by the Association, the Summer Programme invites young local artists, curators, and writers to submit a project that focuses on the local art scene and creates a positive impact on the new talents within the community. Participating galleries will open their doors and offer exclusive opportunities to work with their space. The projects and exhibitions will be reviewed by emerging writers and the pieces will then be compiled and published online and/or printed. HKAGA will serve as the bridge between young local curators/artists/writers and art galleries as well as promote the programme through our channels.

OBJECTIVES
  • To put together a project that focuses on the local art scene and creates a positive impact on the new talents within the community
  • To generate an on-going production every year with a long-term recurrence
