A.)
Reading/ Creation 

ACO invites instructors with different expertise to encourage people to respond in any creative format after reading some selected texts/ articles/ poems together. The responses could be in video, poetry, movement, or photography…etc. It is a series of workshops in small groups with an intimate environment. 

​

Reader-in-Residence
ACO invites artists to organizea  workshop based on close reading, to let the participants get to know how great writers/ philosopher share their sensibility and faith in life. Through exercising close reading, we practice how we sense and how we make sense. During the workshop, we tell each other related stories; discuss, imagine, or even create and make things happen.

​

I Wanna Read 

ACO invites art and cultural practitioners (i.e., artists, filmmakers, writers, playwrights, designers, art educators, poets, etc) to be the ambassadors of the books that were and are still influential to their art practice. They share how reading adds value to the way they think while working and has an impact on their work.  

​

ART ATOM

ART ATOM is a platform for free art education for teenagers. ACO invites artists to share their skills, knowledge, or thoughts with the teenagers, and let them be more interested in understanding their own relationship towards society and their surroundings. ACO sponsors all the materials for the lessons, and offers a subsidy to those who live far away from the learning venue (the artists’ studio). The applicant should have a strong passion for art, and their family is having difficulty supporting them to attend art lessons. 

ACO Sound-on-Site
Sound-On-Site is a site-specific program presented by ACO (Art & Culture Outreach), we aim to develop an intimate and meaningful dialogue between the specific space, the artists, and the audiences, and at the same time, create an inspiring art enjoyment experience for the audiences. *Free donation.

ACO FOOD ART EXPERIENCE 

ACO once opened up its kitchen to a young chef who is focusing on organic vegetarian dish-making and cares about local farming. The green chef works closely with the ACO Rooftop farm caretaker and connects with local farmers. Some ingredients are harvested from ACO Rooftop Farm, while some are from local farms, and organic goods from overseas might be in use too. We hope that the busy residents could take a pause and reimagine their own connections with food and the way they eat.

Foo Tak Building Open Days
Together with ACO, almost 20 art and cultural spaces open their doors for the Foo Tak Building Open Days. These entities have much devotion and passion, even though they come from different fields of art and culture. We wish visitors to come and see how they make good use of their space, and get to know more about what they are working on. Visitors might see exhibitions, crafts, screenings, books, and some meaningful old objects and publications, and join talks about literature/ society/ green living.
