Artecal Charitable Exhibition Explores What it Means to Live in “THE PRESENT”

Artecal Foundation is presenting a new charitable exhibition dubbed “THE PRESENT” featuring around 60 artworks by over 30 artists from Hong Kong and around the world

Founded by a group of art lovers who understand the difficulties faced by local artists in Hong Kong, Artecal Foundations seeks to promote the arts and cultural activities in the community through offering artists with soft-skills development through training and workshops, artist residency at renowned institutions, and curation for art exhibitions.

“The Present,” held from June 13 to 22, explores the multifaceted experiences that define our time through the diverse perspectives of international and local contemporary artists. Works cover a range of media including painting, sculpture, digital art, and installations, inviting us to reconsider our places within both the physical and conceptual landscapes of our time. Leading participating galleries include: Contemporary by Angela Li, gdm, JPS
Gallery, L+/Lucie Chang Fine Arts, Ross + Kramer, SPURS Gallery and the
Stroll Gallery.

“‘The Present’ aims to create a dialogue between the artwork and the viewer, and between the artists, encouraging an active engagement with the here and now,” writes the organisers. “It is a space where past and future converge, reminding us that the present is a continual process of becoming. Through this exhibition, we hope to foster a deeper understanding of the diverse realities that shape our world and inspire a collective contemplation of what it means to live in the present.”

The majority of the sale proceeds will go to the artists, galleries, and the Hong Kong Art School to foster the development of local art. More details can be found on the Artecal Foundation website.
