ABOUT THE ARTIST / ORGANISER

The UOB Art Academy was established by UOB in Hong Kong in 2015 to make art more accessible, nurture artistic talent and rejuvenating cultural heritage. It embraces the three focus areas of UOB Group’s corporate social responsibility: art, children and education.

As the Lead Partner of Art Central, UOB organises the annual UOB Art in Ink Awards and a series of art workshops to engage the general public, especially the children from less privileged backgrounds or with special needs in the local community.
