The "Public Art Scheme" (PAS), first launched in 1999, aims at bringing artistic elements into public space around us. Through open competitions to call for artwork proposals, numbers of artwork have been commissioned and installed at various LCSD's venues, namely Hong Kong Central Library, Ko Shan Road Park, Kwai Tsing Theatre, Tsing Yi Municipal Services Building, Ma On Shan Public Library, Tai Po Central Town Square, Po Hong Park and Tuen Mun Public Library, etc. Other than the PAS, the APO joins hand in hand with other government departments and organisations to promote public art.
