ABOUT THE HONG KONG ARTS FESTIVALLaunched in 1973, the Hong Kong Arts Festival is a premier arts event in the region and a major international arts festival. In February and March every year, the Festival presents leading local and international artists from all genres of the performing arts, placing equal importance on great traditions and contemporary creations. The Festival also commissions and produces work in theatre, music, chamber opera and contemporary dance by Hong Kong’s own creative talents and emerging artists, many of which have subsequently had successful runs in Hong Kong and overseas. Every year, the Festival also presents around 300 “PLUS”’ and educational activities that offer diverse arts experiences to the community as well as tertiary, secondary and primary school students. In addition, through the “No Limits” project co-presented with The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, the Festival strives to create an inclusive space for people of different abilities to share the joy of the arts together.For more information about the Hong Kong Arts Festival, please visit www.hk.artsfestival.org.
