Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival 2024

Ambassadors Programme

Introduction

The “Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival Ambassadors Programme” started in 2022 and we have recruited a group of energetic adults who are interested in arts and isle culture to join our team and support the smooth running of the Festival. The Ambassadors have been an integral part of the Arts Festival.

The Sai Kung Hoi Arts Festival 2024 is scheduled to be held from 13 November 2024 to 12 January 2025. Artworks will be displayed on Yim Tin Tsai, Sharp Island, Kau Sai Chau (Kau Sai Village), High Island and Sai Kung Town. There will also be a series of free guided tours and programmes during the Festival period.

We are now recruiting a new batch of Ambassadors to be the connectors between the visitors and the curatorial team during the Festival this year. Ambassadors will support the overall Festival operation, interact with visitors, and introduce the Festival and artworks. Together we record, observe and discover stories of the isles, and enjoy the reunion that is unique for Sai Kung Hoi.
