We are the

In the 1960s, Nan Fung Textiles witnessed the golden age of the textile industry in Hong Kong. Today, people still remember the factory complex with thousands of factory workers, the rows of neatly arranged textile machines, buckets of cotton and yarn … Although times have changed and the factories have closed, they hold a special place in Hong Kong’s history and cultural development. This year, we are honoured to be invited by The Mills to collaborate on a mural art project. For the project, we have commissioned six local artists to help plan and create murals inspired by the history of the mills, the architectural features of the buildings, the yarn making process and the future of The Mills as a cultural space. The murals are designed to celebrate the revitalisation project and help inspire innovation and promote creativity.

Since 1999, Sheraton Hong Kong Hotel & Towers have been a continuous supporter of YAF’s art programmes, with staff volunteering their time and effort to help young people experience the fun of creating art. From September to December, professional YAF artists will partner with Sheraton volunteers to visit a child welfare group to decorate their centre with a colourful mural and bring fun-filled art activities to underprivileged children over weekends.
