"Art! WeCan" exhibition opens, showcasing student creativity and growth

Hong Kong’s vibrant art scene welcomed a new wave of young talent Wednesday as the "Art! WeCan" exhibition opened to the public, featuring more than 300 dynamic artworks by local students. 

The showcase, which will run until June 5, celebrates not only artistic expression but also the personal growth and confidence students have gained through the creative process.

The exhibition is held on the first floor of Central Pier No. 7 and aboard the "Twinkling Star" ferry, which operates on the Central–Tsim Sha Tsui route, highlighting the transformative power of art. Stephen Ng, the Committee Chairman of the Project WeCan Foundation, praised the students for their dedication and encouraged them to carry this self-belief into their future studies and careers.

The Principal of Po Leung Kuk Yao Ling Sun College, Wan Ka Fai, mentioned that resident artist Mandy Ma inspired students to pursue art fearlessly by sharing her own journey. He noted that the impact on the students extends beyond art, touching on aspects of courage, vision, and the realization of their potential.

Visitors can explore a diverse range of works in this free exhibition, which invites the public to support these emerging talents while enjoying stunning harbor views from the ferry’s upper deck.
