Art For Everyone – a city-wide exhibition

Public art campaign during the pandemic to encourage art appreciation in a safe manner.

Challenges

Art For Everyone @HKMoA was a city-wide art campaign that featured 100 artwork images from the Hong Kong Museum of Art (HKMoA)’s collection. Through the campaign period, the artwork images were showcased on over 490 display spaces (at no cost) across Hong Kong’s 18 districts. The campaign was introduced by and in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the not-for-profit organisation Friends of Hong Kong Museum of Art.

The campaign also featured an interactive custom-made AR App for the public to engage with the artwork images.
