Over the past 40 years, ADAHK has worked to break down barriers faced by people with disabilities, using the arts to create opportunities for them to realise their talents and contribute meaningfully to Hong Kong’s cultural landscape.

To celebrate this significant milestone, we are once again breaking with convention. Moving away from the traditional charity gala held in a hotel ballroom, we invite you to join and support ‘Savouring Old Hong Kong’ a charity banquet to be held at Luk Yu Tea House on Tuesday, 17 November 2026, for a nostalgic journey through time. Set within an atmosphere rich in Hong Kong heritage and character, the evening will bring together supporters to share a table, enjoy traditional dishes and conversation, and experience the warmth, community spirit and human connections that have long defined our city.

For many years, ADAHK has not received regular government subvention; its operations rely on generous contributions from the community. The net proceeds from the Charity Banquet will be used to nurture more young, talented artists with disabilities and foster their professional growth.

Your support will do more than help an artist with disabilities pursue their dreams. It will enable the arts to continue serving as a powerful force for connecting communities, fostering inclusion and building a more inclusive society for all. 

Over the past three years, ADAHK has participated in ‘Breakthrough Journey,’ an initiative organised by the BiG-i International Communication Center for Persons with Disabilities in Japan. Through dance creation and exchanges with artists of diverse backgrounds and abilities, the programme explores the possibilities of inclusive arts. After its performance at Expo 2025 Osaka, this cross-border journey continues in Hong Kong. Join us for a series of activities and experience dance in new ways, from moving together to enjoying the dance drama and discover the unifying power of the arts.

‘Breakthrough Journey’ Inclusive Dance Workshop

Led by Hong Kong dancer Kingsan Lo and Japanese dancer Mizuki Kajimoto, both participants in ‘Breakthrough Journey’, this workshop invites you to connect through dance that transcends language and boundaries. No dance experience is necessary. Come explore movement and discover the joy of dancing together.

‘Breakthrough Journey’ Expo 2025 Osaka Dance Drama Screening & Artist Sharing

Revisit the Expo 2025 Osaka stage through a screening of the dance drama, featuring 95 dancers from 11 regions across Japan and around the world. Meet the Japanese and Hong Kong artists involved in the production and hear about their experiences of creating, exchanging and performing together.

Artworks by ADAHK artists Apple Tong and Lai Tsz Lung have been selected for the ‘Art to You! World Art Exhibition for Artists with Disabilities IN SENDAI 2026’, organised by the Social Welfare Foundation Tohoku Organization for Artists with Disabilities in Japan. The organiser received a total of 1,300 submissions. After the selection process, Apple Tong and Lai Tsz Lung’s artworks made the final exhibition list. Previously showcased at the Sendai Mediatheque, all selected works will next be exhibited at the Takayama Uichi Memorial Museum of Art in Shichinohe, Japan, from 3 October to 25 October.

First held in 2015, this is one of the most representative art exhibitions for artists with disabilities in Japan’s Tohoku region. It primarily showcases works by Japanese artists with disabilities to promote social inclusion through the arts. As its influence grows, the exhibition has expanded into a global event in recent years, now inviting submissions from artists with disabilities worldwide and serving as a cross-border platform for artistic exchange.

Jockey Club Inclusive Arts Studio has launched the Inclusive Arts Education Network, uniting artists, educators, social workers, arts administrators, and cultural practitioners through a series of practical inclusive arts education workshops. These workshops offer participants the opportunity to share experiences, build professional connections, and collaboratively explore new possibilities in inclusive arts.

This year, two themed workshops are being offered, featuring experts from diverse fields who will share their hands-on experience. Covering topics ranging from psychology and inclusive practices to communication, ideas, and sustainable development, the workshops will delve into the planning, delivery, facilitation, and future growth of inclusive arts education programmes.

Workshop 1: Inclusive Arts Education in Practice Series (Visual Arts) (12 hours)

Facilitators: Chan Sai Lok, Ko Bin Lin, and Pak Sheung Chuen

Workshop 2: From Crisis Management to Self-Actualisation in Inclusive Arts Education: A Practical Guide to Psychology and Empathetic Communication (12 hours)

Facilitator: Helen Kwok 

Jockey Club Inclusive Arts Studio launches a new round of art workshops, running from November 2026 to February 2027, and is now open for enrolment. Continuing with the theme of ‘Memories’, a series of workshops invites participants to draw inspiration from everyday moments and transform their memories, feelings and imagination into artistic creations.

Alongside the advanced course in drama, creative weaving, and percussion ensemble training, a new pottery workshop will be introduced. Participants will learn hand-building techniques to create everyday objects such as cups, explore the changing textures of clay, and discover the joy of working with ceramics. This round will also feature the ‘Inclusive Arts Ambassador’ Skill Training Series. Participants will learn to create natural pigments using fruit and vegetables, as well as develop essential skills in facilitating activities, laying a foundation for future employment opportunities. People with disabilities are invited to enrol and create more cherished memories through artistic exploration, creativity and exchange.

Sponsored by the Labour and Welfare Bureau and organised by ADAHK, the Public Education Sharing Sessions under the ‘Inclusive Art Ambassadors Scheme’ are now in full swing.

The scheme aims to use the arts as a bridge to enhance the workplace capabilities of people with disabilities, while empowering talented artists with disabilities to develop their potential, strengthen their professional skills, and expand their employment opportunities. It also fosters exchange and collaboration between them and mainstream artists, and various sectors of the community, enriching Hong Kong’s cultural landscape with greater diversity and inclusion. The scheme further showcases the creativity of artists with disabilities, challenging stereotypes and misconceptions about people with disabilities, and contributing to a society that recognises and celebrates diverse talents.

ADAHK’s social enterprise, ADAM, invited 15 talented artists with disabilities and brought their creative works and stories into communities through 20 sessions of talks, school sharing, and live performances. These activities aim to foster public understanding and dialogue on inclusion, enabling more people to experience the transformative power of the arts firsthand. An estimated 2,000 participants from the public will benefit from the scheme.

Participating artists include Karen Chan, Kevin Cheng, Jessica Chiu, William Chu, Sharon Choi, Ding Yijie, Lee Hin, Lee Shing, Jack Li, Alice Leung, Lo Pui Yung, Stanley Lo, Helen Ma, Joyce Poon and Anson Tang.

ADAHK invites you to join us on 11 October (Sunday) to enjoy the autumn breeze at ‘Good Store’ Art Day. Young-old ambassadors will continue exploring the connection between the arts and daily life with the participants through three workshops centred on the theme of autumn solar terms.

During the ‘Storytelling Guided Tour,’ participants will explore the organic garden and receive instant photo keepsakes. In the ‘A Sip of Wellness’ session, participants will learn to brew a seasonal drink and savour its nourishing flavours. The ‘Seasonal Paper Cutting Programme’ offers the chance to create postcards featuring seasonal plants, allowing participants to experience the art of paper cutting while learning about the characteristics of seasonal plants.

ADAHK was proud to be the Performance Accessibility Partner for the Shakespeare4All Gala Production for the fourth consecutive year, continuing our mission to drive accessibility in theatre. This year, Deaf consultants participated throughout the preparation and rehearsal process for Theatre Interpretation, adding greater depth to the performance and taking another step toward arts inclusion.

This year’s show, ‘As You Like It: Tales From Olympus’, reimagined Shakespeare’s timeless comedy through the world of Greek mythology. To give Deaf audiences a fully immersive experience, Theatrical Interpretation and a Hong Kong Sign Language-interpreted backstage tour were offered. Participants explored the stage, sets and costumes up close, while Theatrical Interpretation, a blend of Sign Language with vivid physical expression, ensured no one missed a moment of dialogue or the groovy music.

With support like yours, people with disabilities can continue exploring the world through the arts and develop the artistic talent that enables them to shine much brighter than they can imagine.
