ADAM, the social enterprise of ADAHK, is pleased to present ‘A Fantastical World of Colour,’ the debut solo exhibition by ADAHK’s artist Aaron Ngow. Featuring a collection of works inspired by forests, trees, skies, and natural landscapes, the exhibition invites viewers into a vibrant world that moves between reality and imagination. Aaron’s series reimagines nature through bold and expressive colours, creating an immersive visual journey filled with emotion and imagination. Some works draw inspiration from the imagery of the ‘Jewelled Trees’ described in the Infinite Life Sutra. For Aaron, every colour holds equal value and expressive power. Through the coexistence, contrast, and harmony of colours, his works become a visual reflection on diversity, inclusion, and coexistence. We warmly invite you to step into Aaron’s fantastical world and experience the endless possibilities woven through colour.

Exhibition Period: 10 July – 21 August 
Opening Reception: 10 July (Friday), 3:00 – 5:00 PM
Address: ADAM Art Space, Unit 10B, Gold Swan Commercial Building, 438–444 Hennessy Road, Causeway Bay

Established in 2013, the ‘Artists with Disability Development Fund’ is supported by Lee Hysan Foundation. It aims at financing and assisting outstanding Hong Kong persons with disabilities aged 40 or below in pursuing local or overseas arts studies or a specific development pathway in the arts. Over the past decade, artists with disabilities from diverse artistic backgrounds have successfully received funding to pursue various art courses or implement personal artistic development plans, achieving outstanding accomplishments. The new round of applications is now open, with a closing deadline of 30 June. Eligible artists with disabilities are encouraged to seize this opportunity and actively plan their artistic development. 

‘Cross All Borders’ is an ongoing project by ADAHK that takes place annually, alternating between performing and visual arts. The project aims to uncover the remarkable talents of emerging artists with disabilities and to encourage them to pursue meaningful lives through artistic expression. For ‘Cross All Borders 2026: Hong Kong Competition of Showcasing New Visual Artists with Disabilities,’ a total of 532 entries were received, from which 33 award-winning artworks were selected by a judging panel. Winners of the top awards will join a mentorship programme to support their professional development as artists. The Winners’ Exhibition will be held from 19 June to 24 June on the 15^th floor of The Showcase at the Hong Kong Arts Centre. This exhibition will showcase the 33 winning pieces, which feature a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, digital drawing, and ink art, highlighting the immense potential of these emerging artists with disabilities.

ADAHK’s inaugural Charity Art Competition 2026 celebrates the rich heritage of Chinese culture through the power of the arts. This year’s competition has received a wide range of entries with participants expressing their understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture in unique ways. Themes included Chinese animals, traditional festivals, food culture, the 12-Year Animal Cycle, and the 24 solar terms. After a thorough evaluation by the judging panel, the winners of the champion, first runner-up, second runner-up, and merit awards in each category have been determined. Additionally, the ‘Appreciation Award’ was selected through online public voting. All winners will be invited to attend the award ceremony. The award-winning works will be publicly exhibited at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre from 8 August to 9 August.

ADAHK and its social enterprise, ADAM, were delighted to be invited as an Inclusion Partner for ‘Joy of Dance: Artistry in Harmony,’ a special programme jointly presented by the Hong Kong Dance Company and Harbour City. Over three consecutive weekends in May, ADAHK’s artists participated in a series of engaging activities to share the joy of art with the community. During the opening ceremony, ADAHK’s artist Jessica Chiu delivered a captivating sand art performance that was inspired by the Hong Kong Dance Company’s dance season, celebrating the company’s 45^th anniversary. Additionally, ADAHK’s artists introduced participants to various art forms through hands-on workshops and live demonstrations. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the Hong Kong Dance Company and Harbour City for providing a meaningful platform for artists with disabilities to showcase their talents and passion, while enabling the public to engage more closely with inclusive arts.

In collaboration with five member organisations of DAiSY (Disability Arts in Surrey)—The Grange, Art Venture, Halow, Creative Response, and Bloomin’ Arts—participants from both DAiSY and JCIAS’s arts exchange programme, ‘Artlink,’ created a series of artworks inspired by the theme ‘Windows to the World.’ A window serves as a connection to the outside world while also representing an invisible boundary separating us from it. Artists from both cities have shared their unique interpretations and visions of their surroundings, transforming windows into bridges that span geographical borders and connect hearts.

Thanks to the enthusiastic response from the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, enrolment in the ‘Deaf/Hard-of-hearing Theatrical Interpretation Co-learning Scheme 2026’ has doubled its original capacity.

The scheme is delighted to have three professional instructors on board: Ms Denise Chan, a Sign Language Interpreter specialising in interpretation; Mr Freddie Chan, a theatre director focusing on physical movement and acting; and Ms Cally Yu, an author with expertise in text analysis. Together, they guide participants through a comprehensive exploration of Theatrical Interpretation.

Phase one of the scheme, which focuses on interpretation skills, is now in full swing. Participants are fully engaged in workshop activities, progressing from foundational exercises to learning about Sign Language in the arts and the core elements of performing-arts interpretation.

ADAHK’s Arts Accessibility Services team conducted a tailored Audio Description workshop for students at The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts on 30 May. This workshop brought together students from the School of Drama, School of Film and Television, and the School of Theatre and Entertainment Arts, introducing them to the application of Audio Description in performing arts, film, and visual arts for the first time. After receiving foundational training, the students were tasked with writing Audio Description scripts for selected excerpts from the performing and visual arts. They presented their draft scripts, and two consultants, Ah Yuk and Jacky, provided immediate feedback. In the post-class questionnaire, students expressed their gratitude for the consultants’ direct commentary, which helped them recognise their weaknesses and better understand users’ needs. Since signing a Memorandum of Understanding in 2019, ADAHK and the Academy have closely collaborated to promote inclusive arts. This workshop is expected to offer students a new adventure and present challenges that will enrich Hong Kong’s performing arts scene.

Earlier, ADAHK’s artist Yang Enhua, the recipient of ‘Lee Hysan Foundation Scholarship’, held his Academy Bachelor of Music (Honours) Degree Graduation Recital on 12 May at the William Au Concert Hall of The Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts, marking the successful completion of his undergraduate studies. At the recital, Enhua performed a selection of classic erhu repertoire, including ‘Thoughts of Northern Shaanxi’, ‘Wind of the Chilly Spring’, ‘A Joyful Evening’, and the third and fourth movements of ‘Great Wall Capriccio’. The programme featured both solo performance and ensemble collaborations with fellow musicians, fully demonstrating his musicianship and deep musical insight. We extend our warmest congratulations to Enhua on his graduation and look forward to seeing him continue to excel on his musical journey and shine on even broader stages.
