Hong Kong Open Print Studio is situated
on the 8th (top floor) of the JCCAC (Jockey Club Creative Arts
Centre) in Sham Shi Po, a laid back district of Kowloon with a mixture of
residential high rises, shops, and busy street-markets. This former factory
building now houses the JCCAC, where more than 100 artists and art
organisations are based across a wide cross-section of the creative and visual
arts: painting, sculpture, calligraphy, ceramics, glass art, printmaking,
installation, photography, animation, video production, music, dance and drama,
are all represented. So all in all its a groovy and happening place within a vibrant residential community, with lots going on.

Founded in 2000, Hong Kong Open Printshop is Hong Kong’s first
non-profit open printshop run by artists. In 2012, it was registered as a charitable organisation. Its main aim is to
promote the visual arts with an emphasis on image making, and to give something back to
the community by providing arts programmes that people of all ages and
from all walks of life can participate in and enjoy.
