It showcased the work of a broad cross-section of contemporary Hong Kong artists using a wide range of art media.

According to Tsang, the exhibition was "an exploration of artistic sensitivity and response to the living environment in a cosmopolitan city like Hong Kong".

The exhibition showcased paintings, sculpture, illustrations, photography, and pieces involving video stills and more experimental materials.

The event was criticised for being narrow in scope for an opening exhibition at an ostensibly international art gallery, and for being "too far removed from Hong Kong culture".

[3] A review in the South China Morning Post called the "City Vibrance" theme "vapid", and observed that the artists all seem to have ignored it and "did their own thing" instead.
