Encouraging community engagement
Presented by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council (HKADC) and funded by The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (The Trust), JOCKEY CLUB New Arts Power (JCNAP) was officially launched at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in September 2017. JCNAP joined hands with 18 participating local artists to bring 160 diverse events to the public, including open rehearsals, forums, sharing sessions, workshops, community and school programmes, ticketed performances, two exhibitions featuring ceramic art and media art and the finale series.
