The Organisers

About Artist Commune
Taking on the perspective of Hong Kong artists, Artist Commune was established by the core members of Hong Kong Young Artists Association in July 1997. It became a non-profit organization funded by Hong Kong Arts Development Council (ADC) in the following November. As one of the yearly beneficiaries of ADC, Artist Commune registered as a non-profit limited company in December 1999. The establishment of Artist Commune strongly reflects the desire of some artists for a space of art making and exhibition. Since the beginning with artists workshops at Cheung Fat Industrial Building in Shek Tong Tsui, Artist Commune has attracted many local and foreign artists for gatherings and seminars in sharing of their different artistic experiences. Thereafter, in spite of many times of moving, Artist Commune remained to be the base for artists to create and exhibit artworks, and to exchange ideas and experiences. To date, Artist Commune has fledged to be a diversified civic art organization, providing not only exhibition venues for local visual artists but also opportunities for the development of various art forms and artistic collaborations.
