With
the
exhibition
period
till
19
August,
ArtAlive@Park
2014
kicked
off
on
19
May
at
Central
and
Western
District
Promenade
(Central
Section).
"ArtAlive@Park"
is
a
large-scale
public
art
project
that
sets
to
showcase
young
people's
artistic
talents
in
local
parks.
It
also
aims
to
make
art
accessible
to
all
sectors
of
the
community
and
to
bring
people
to
arts.
For
a
period
of
three
months,
ArtAlive@Park
2014
has
invited
the
schools
of
design
of
three
local
tertiary
institutions
to
work
as
the
artistic
collaborators,
who
have
designed
13
site-specific
artworks.
At
the
opening
ceremony,
it
is
our
honour
to
have
the
officiating
guests,
team
leaders,
student
artists
and
representatives
from
each
institution,
including
Mrs.
Betty
Fung
Ching
Suk-yee,
JP,
Ex-

Mr.

Prof.

Mr.

and
Dr.

Office.
The
ceremony
has
attracted
the
public,
and
was
widely
covered
by
the
media.
Moreover,
HULU
Culture,
our
programme
collaborator,
has
invited
various
sectors
of
groups
to
present
a
series
of
special
programmes
accompanying
the
event.
On
24
May,
a
local
dance
group,
The
Way
We
Dance,
and
two
local
bands,
Supper
Moment
and
KOLOR
,
have
set
aflame
our
passion
of
life
through
energetic
music
and
rhythms
of
dance
under
the
summer
heat.
Besides,
in
collaboration
with
Lawnmap
Hong
Kong,
an
outdoor
barter
event
titled
"Exchange
Square
on
the
Lawn"
was
held
successfully
on
14
June,
28
June
and
12
July.
Without
the
involvement
of
money
as
the
medium
of
exchange,
participants
returned
to
the
most
primitive
system
of
exchange.
The
process
boosted
the
interaction
among
participants,
bringing
with
unexpected
and
unique
rewards.
Last
but
not
least,
"Fun
with
Art",
a
children
carnival
arranged
by
Playright
Children's
Play
Association,
was
held
on
6
July
and
20
July.
Playright
has
designed
eight
booths
with
interactive
games
for
the
participating
children
to
have
fun
at
park.
With
the
public's
active
support,
ArtAlive@Park
2014
has
come
to
an
end
successfully.

Our honour to have officiating guests, team leaders, student artists and representatives from each institution joining the opening ceremony.
13 artworks were introduced to the officiating guests during the guided tour after the ceremony. Artwork includes Sky Serenity.
Supper Moment, a local band, performed a series of encouraging songs that engaged everyone within earshot.
At Exchange Square on the Lawn, you could exchange anything with an item, a secret, or even a slice of happiness, and receiving a surprising reward.
Having fun at park intensified the interaction among one another and the summer heat could be forgotten.
