Lee Gardens Art Fest: Art Too

‘Art’ lives in every corner of Lee Gardens, inviting passersby to be surrounded by its spirit. ‘Too’ speaks to both togetherness and tools – the shared instruments of creativity that turn observers into creators. HKWALLS has collaborated with Hysan to offer the public a captivating variety of art and cultural experiences throughout the festival. 

「Art」存在於利園的每個角落,路人無不被它的精神所感染。 「Too」有「團結」的意思,亦指「工具」(Tool) ──── 兩者合一併發創意,將各位觀看者轉化為創造者。HKWALLS與希慎興業希望能夠在藝術節期間共同為公眾提供豐富多彩的文化和藝術體驗。

100 Years of Lee Gardens

For a century, Lee Gardens has been the venue where art and culture touch lives and memories are made. From the Bei Shan Poets Society flourishing in a taipan house with over 130 literary members, to the glamorous era of Lee Theatre hosting world-class performances and beauty pageants, our artistic spirit has evolved across generations. 

Today, as Hysan Development celebrates Lee Gardens’  100th anniversary with the ‘Art Too’ festival alongside HKWALLS, that creative spirit lives on through vibrant murals and artistic spaces. Each artwork tells a story of transformation, celebrating the community that has made Lee Gardens a cultural home for generations. As they enter their next century, we look forward to creating tomorrow’s memories in this garden of joy.

利園一百週年

一個世紀以來,利園一直以藝術和文化觸動生活、創造回憶。從一百年前「大班屋」內蓬勃發展,擁有一百三十多名成員的北山詩社,到全盛時期舉辦世界級演出和選美比賽的利舞臺戲院,得見利園的藝術精神生生不息,代代相傳。

時至今日,在希慎興業與HKWALLS攜手舉辦利園百週年慶「Art Too」藝術節之際,這種創意精神透過充滿活力的壁畫和藝術空間而得以延續。為此而誕生的每件藝術品都講述了一個關於「轉變」的故事,頌揚利園內薪火相傳、豐富多樣的本地社區文化。我們期待與你在這個樂園歡聚,創造明日的回憶,共同迎接下一個世紀。
