Hong Kong Arts Centre

[1][2] The centre comprises presentation spaces and venues including galleries, theatres, a cinema, classrooms, studios, restaurant and offices.

[3][4] During the late 1960s, the City Hall was the only venue for contemporary arts in Hong Kong.

In June 1971, a piece of reclaimed land near Gloucester Road in Wan Chai was successfully obtained after years of negotiation.

[3][4] When only half of the required $28 million had been raised, construction was halted and was not resumed until Hong Kong Governor Sir Murray MacLehose facilitated loans using a government warrant.

The venue is used for large-scale drama and dance performances, concerts, film shows and seminars.

It has a campus site in Shau Kei Wan and additional studio space at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre in Shek Kip Mei.

The centre also helped the ensemble run an artistic concept “PIP”(Pleasure In Play), conducting drama workshops.
