The Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant: stART Up Community Arts Project 2021

The consumer culture has convinced us that we are all entitled to luxuries. But extravagant lifestyles come at a cost to our planet – increased carbon emissions, global warming, extreme and unpredictable weather and a host of environmental pollution issues that threaten all living things. Before we exhaust Earth beyond repair, let’s stop and think, and take action against climate change. 

The Hong Kong Jockey Club Community Project Grant: stART Up Community Arts Project 2021, organised by Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust, uses art to raise awareness of climate change and the need for environmental protection. Over a three-month period, in workshops led by 20 professional artists, more than 500 youngsters came together to create a series of visual and performing art pieces to reflect their thoughts on climate change. Join us to learn more and help us take a stand to protect our planet!

Jockey Club Community Arts Biennale

Now in its second edition, the Jockey Club Community Arts Biennale – sponsored by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust and organised by the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (YAF) – is a platform for connecting people and exploring local communities.

Over several months, 24 local professional artists and thousands of young people visit communities in Hong Kong to meet residents and local craftsmen, learn about neighbourhood histories and create art that celebrates community stories. The process brings together people of different ages, backgrounds, skills and ethnicities, uncovering hidden stories of everyday lives and reaffirming a sense of community.

JUMP CUT Independent Film Festival

JUMP CUT 2014 saw us welcoming in our very first youth committee: a group of local teens who are passionate about independent films and are keen to share their enthusiasm with a wider audience.

Meeting weekly in the months leading up to JUMP CUT, the youth committee works together to curate the programme, invite guest speakers, plan screenings and write reviews. The committee also collaborates with some of Hong Kong’s top film professionals to organise various workshops.  

April 2015 will see the return of this popular festival, where film screens will spring up in unconventional locations all over Hong Kong. The programme will feature thought-provoking local and international independent films, as well as talks and workshops led by some of the city’s best film professionals.

Preparations for JUMP CUT 2015 have now begun, and we would like to welcome you to join our youth committee at their movie marathons and masterclasses from September 2014 onwards. Check out upcoming events and also, don't forget to LIKE our Facebook page

On A ShoeString - School Production Skills Building Workshop Series for Teachers

Most Hong Kong schools have limited resources for the arts, but this does not mean school productions can't be striking and imaginative.

This workshop series for teachers introduces innovative ways to put on 'shoestring' budget school productions. Skills learnt can be adapted to enrich the quality of school productions, as well as passed on to students to help create a new generation of creative thinkers and artists.

"Triple Threat" is a programme aimed at nurturing potential triple threat performers and providing guidance in all 3 disciplines and enhancing participants' chances of pursuing a professional career in Musical Theatre. Regular training sessions will be conducted by local professional directors, musical directors and choreographers throughout the project.
