Calling all creative talents in town! Be An Imagineer!

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 26 January 2021 – Have you ever thought about transforming your ideas into an art installation in urban community spaces? Here comes the chance! Organized by the Hong Kong Arts Centre (“HKAC”) and funded by Urban Renewal Fund, “Via North Point”, a public art and community initiative that carries the mission of urban revitalization would like to hear from you. Its Call for Creative Community Space Proposals (“Open Call”) welcomes talents from all walks of life — along with artists, creatives and architects — to submit your proposal to breathe new life into the public spaces!

After months of collection of opinions, practical experience and accumulation of knowledge in diversified activities, such as “Your SAY!”, “Community Wanderer — Guided Tour Design and Training Workshop “, and “Urban Design Lab Online Exhibition”, it is time to materialize the ideas into reality for the unique “Via North Point” project.

The Open Call aims to stimulate greater social interaction through public participation, and local creative talents as individuals, a company or a team are welcome to submit their proposals. Selected proposals will be commissioned and showcased in the month-long Finale Festival in September 2021. Envision a new life for the urban spaces. Take action and “Be an Imagineer” NOW!

HKAC is planning to launch “North Point Meet & Greet — A day of life in the neighbourhood” discussion session in this coming Friday (January 29, 2021) so as to facilitate direct communication between potential applicants and different stakeholders in North Point. This may help creative talents to come up with proposals in response to the users with different lifestyles in the community. General public are welcome to join. Details are as follows:
