The East Kowloon Cultural Centre (EKCC) Public Artwork Commissioning Project is now inviting artists, designers and architects as individuals or groups to create a harmonious art landscape for the EKCC that engages members of the public through the expression of art and culture.
The project, presented by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department and organised by the Art Promotion Office, endeavors to capture and showcase the past, present and future of East Kowloon. The commissioned artworks will represent five themes – memory, impression, moment, dream and imagination – aiming to display the changing nature of the district, and to manifest the cultural sustainability, aspirations and dreams of the local community.
The scheme will involve a two-stage selection and commission process. For Stage 1, interested participants must submit their preliminary proposal, including the participant's curriculum vitae, documentation of the participant's previous artwork and the artistic concept of the proposed artwork. All proposals must be delivered to the Public Art Project Management Team of the EKCC (G/F, 50-54 Lok Ku Road, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong) by post or by hand before 7pm, May 4 (Monday). The proposals will then be short-listed by the selection panel. Short-listed participants are required to submit detailed proposals before 7pm, June 30 (Tuesday) for the Stage 2 selection. Up to three proposals shall be chosen by the selection panel for commissioning and installing in the Centre.
