The finalists’ artworks will be exhibited at Phillips’ Asia headquarters in Hong Kong’s West Kowloon Cultural District from 21-29 March, coinciding with the city’s highly anticipated Art Week. While most of the works will be offered at the auction, a few selected pieces will be
available for private sale and can be purchased immediately during the preview exhibition. The public is encouraged to visit and place a vote, in person or online, for their favourite shortlisted artist. Voting closes on 28 March.
Funds raised through artwork sales will support SAF’s Make It Better programme, which is run entirely on donations and has been providing expressive arts groups for children living in Hong Kong’s most disadvantaged communities since 2013. The group sessions support the social, emotional, and behavioural challenges of children with special educational needs including autism, ADHD, and other specific learning difficulties, and are run by a professional team of registered Art Therapists. The programme currently serves around 200 beneficiaries weekly and has recently expanded to provide education, training and support for the children’s caregivers and educators.
