An old renovated factory on Kowloon side will soon be opened as an Art Centre.
Art-Now and Tomorrow: New Beginnings - JCC Art Centre Hong Kong 2008
I would enjoy meeting other artists, if possible and do some art networking.
Hopefully I will be able to offer drawing and art sessions and have people join in.
Let me know if you have any interest.
Cheers
John

Thanks,

Hey John,

My g/f is an artist who have just moved to HK. Been looking for art centres for her to paint and do her artwork in and also for her to network. Any info on this subject matter would be great.
Cheers.

The nine-storey centre offers 110,000 sq ft of studio space that can accommodate up to 120 artist/art group tenants and four institutional tenants. It also features a 120-seat black-box theatre, two exhibition galleries, a central courtyard and a rooftop sculpture garden, all of which provide ideal venues for different arts and cultural activities, training and performances. The JCCAC has already received an overwhelming response from the local arts community, with more than 500 applications for tenancy received. Those eventually selected represent a wide spectrum of art forms including Chinese traditional calligraphy, glass art, puppetry, photography and sculpture. The first tenants moved into the centre in March 2008 and most of the studios are now in use.

Is there an address for the Arts Now and Tomorrow center? I'd like to visit the place and have a look.
