Wan Chai St. James' Settlement | Community Art Festival Opening Carnival (Free Admission)

Description

Community Art Festival | Perceive the community through five senses, record Wan Chai through art

Living in Wan Chai, what is the most familiar scent to you? Which scene captivates you the most?

The Community Art Festival uses the five senses—sight, hearing, taste, smell, and touch—as clues to invite local residents, small shops, youth, seniors, and diverse talents to collectively document and interpret the unique pulse of Wan Chai, while gathering multiple art groups to share local practices in community building.

From September 19 to 26, 2026, a series of exciting events will be held at the St. James' Settlement Community Centre and the Jockey Club Arts Academy, inviting everyone to participate.
