ACO Art Space

FTB

We, along with our city, need creativity, a spirit of experimentation, diverse thinking, and mutual support. Located at the intersection of Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, the Foo Tak Building was completed in the 1960s and transformed into a 'vertical art village' in 2003.

Currently, ACO offers partially subsidized rental units at below-market rates to various arts and cultural organizations, allowing creators to focus on their work without the burden of rent, realizing various ideas, experiments, projects, and actions. The resident units span different artistic fields, including visual arts, literature and publishing, sound and performing arts, and community development, with some open to public visits. Everyone is welcome to come and explore, connect, and communicate.

 

Other than rental sponsorship, we the ACO team are happy to liaise with the units to promote sharing of experience and opinions. We are also promoting varied ways to foster a community ecology here with a sense of resource sharing and helping one another.  

 

If you wish to become a member of Foo Tak Building, you are welcome to email us a concise application proposal containing your objective and ways of using a space in Foo Tak Building.  We will consider it whenever there a vacant unit arises.  

//Hospitality means primarily the creation of free space where the stranger can enter and become a friend instead of an enemy. Hospitality is not to change people, but to offer them space where change can take place. //
― Henri Nouwen (1975)
 
 

The notorious high price strategy for land development has all along strangled this city’s livelihood and possibilities.

 

It is so invaluable for ACO to take root in the centre of the city – somewhere amid Causeway Bay and Wan Chai. Hence, it is only natural for us to embrace such a mission: we should try our best to release as much precious spatial resources as we can so as to help develop art and culture for this city. We can have a more diverse and vibrant civil society when the strength of art and culture grows.
