ADAHK proudly presents its inaugural Charity Art Competition, a celebration of the rich heritage of Chinese culture through the power of the arts. This competition invites participants of all ages to unleash their creativity using painting or digital art. The winners will also have the opportunity to collaborate with artists with disabilities to create a large-scale artwork, and selected outstanding works will be proudly showcased in the exhibition.

For four decades, ADAHK has championed the development of inclusive arts without regular government subvention, relying on the generosity of the community to sustain its mission. Application fees from this competition will go towards nurturing young, talented artists with disabilities and supporting their professional growth.

The competition aims to provide an inclusive platform that deepens participants’ understanding of Chinese traditions while fostering appreciation for diversity and charity.

‘Arts are for Everyone’ has never been merely a slogan. It is the core belief and mission that has guided us throughout these four decades. The ADAHK logo, made up of two pieces of jigsaw puzzles, symbolises a harmonious relationship and mutual cooperation between people with and without disabilities. Through the arts and creativity, the lives of both would become as rich and colourful as the rainbow.

Celebrating our 40th anniversary, we are honoured to have anothermountainman (Stanley Wong), ADAHK’s committee member and world-renowned artist, photographer, and designer, make subtle adjustments to our logo and design the 40th anniversary edition. anothermountainman has refreshed our logo with a minimalist and modern aesthetic. For the 40th anniversary logo, he captured the essence of the rainbow to symbolise our journey alongside people with disabilities, as well as our partners and participants: ‘For 40 Years and Beyond.’

Watch the video now to hear anothermountainman explain the creative vision behind the two logo designs.

The 2026 ‘Diversity and Inclusion Arts Festival’ was successfully held for ten days in late March at the Xiqu Centre in West Kowloon. This festival was jointly organised by the Labour and Welfare Bureau and an Organising Committee made up of various rehabilitation and social welfare organisations. The festival featured arts exhibition, arts bazaar, inclusive arts performances, and workshops, along with district-based arts activities for people with disabilities. These events aimed to create opportunities for exchange and connection within the community. As a member of the Organising Committee, ADAHK played active roles in curating the art exhibition and organising the inclusive arts performances. Moreover, several artists with disabilities from ADAHK successfully participated in the exhibition and performance showcase and led art workshops. Through art, the festival highlighted the talents of people with diverse abilities and promoted a harmonious and inclusive community.

‘ArtWorks - The Path to Becoming an Artist’ is a 32-month project funded by the Arts Development Fund for Persons with Disabilities of the Social Welfare Department. It pairs professional artists with emerging artists with disabilities. The programme provided tailored development advice and a structured learning plan to help participants cultivate their unique artistic style and expand their creative horizons.

The culmination of this journey is the final exhibition titled ‘Living with Art.’ The first part of the exhibition successfully concluded on 8 March, receiving widespread acclaim. The second part will take place from 25 April to 17 May at the L0 Gallery of the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre. The final exhibition showcases an array of media, including digital illustration, drama, ink art, painting, photography, and sand painting. Each of the fifteen sets of works tells a powerful story, offering a glimpse into the unique journeys and perspectives of the artists.

The ‘Artistry in Clay’ Advanced Ceramics Training Scheme offers participating graduates with special needs 50-hour professional ceramic training along with a platform to showcase their work, aiding in their career development. The exhibition for this scheme concluded successfully on 29 March, highlighting the participants’ unique creativity and personal styles. The displayed works reflected their appreciation for the world around them and showcased their techniques through a variety of functional wares. During the exhibition, ceramic experience workshops were also held successfully. Both the graduates with special needs and members of the public were invited to create personalised plates together. The audience enjoyed guided tours led by the participating artists, who shared their creative processes and the stories behind their exhibited artworks. This initiative fostered inclusiveness within the community and celebrated the joy of artistic creation.

*This scheme is supported by the Queen Elizabeth Foundation for the Mentally Handicapped and the Jean CK Ho Family Foundation.

ADAHK has partnered once again with The School of Professional Education and Executive Development, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (SPEED), to present the third cohort of a course focused on teaching the fundamental techniques of Audio Description. This course began in February and is the first fully accredited Audio Description course available in Hong Kong’s tertiary education system. This semester, the class includes 20 students from diverse backgrounds, including social work, social sciences, and the arts.

The practicum component has been enhanced with a practicum on the ‘Encounters with Landscape’ exhibition by Wu Guanzhong at the Hong Kong Museum of Art, artworks from the ‘Good Days 2.0: Join the Fun’ Elderly Photography Exhibition, and an Audio Description Accessible Tour of the Oi!. Additionally, elderly photographers from ‘Good Day 2.0,’ people with visual impairments, and Audio Description consultants have been invited to provide feedback to the students. This interaction allows students to gain a deeper understanding of the creative concepts behind the artworks and receive direct feedback on their Audio Description scripts from both the creators and the users. It is believed that this course and the experiences gained will empower students to utilise Audio Description to benefit more people in their future professional roles.

ADAHK, as the project partner, will collaborate with Oi! to present the second ‘Oi! Daily: Good Store’ Art Day on 18 April, celebrating the arrival of spring.
