Hong Kong Art School
Education has always been a major part of HKAC’s mission, Hong Kong Art School (HKAS) was officially established as a division of the Hong Kong Arts Centre. Closely associated with the Arts Centre’s environment of cultural venues, client art groups and creative enterprises, the School offers a unique setting for students to draw on a vast spectrum of artistic practices.
The School is an accredited institute staffed by a group of dedicated artists, who are active and distinguished practitioners in the field. The award-bearing programmes offered by the School focus on four core academic areas, namely, Fine Art, Applied Art, Media Art and Drama Education, with academic levels ranging from Foundation Diploma, Higher Diploma, Bachelor Degree to Master Degree. The short courses and the outreach projects of the School that run parallel to the award-bearing curriculum span an even wider variety of artistic disciplines. With its acquisition of a campus site in Shau Kei Wan and additional studio space at the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre in Shek Kip Mei in 2009, the School aims at further bridging art and the community.
