******************************************************************************************
     The Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in Singapore (Singapore ETO) and the renowned Hong Kong creative brand Chocolate Rain are jointly presenting a community arts exhibition at Enabling Village, Singapore, from today (October 23) to October 26. This vibrant showcase welcomes art lovers from all walks of life and serves as a platform to foster cultural exchange between Hong Kong and Singapore.

     Led by founder Ms Prudence Mak, the Chocolate Rain team has curated a dazzling collection of exhibits that bring together the iconic landmarks and culinary delights of the two places. Visitors can marvel at giant inflatables of Hong Kong's beloved egg tarts, fish balls, and Hong Kong-style French toasts, alongside whimsical 3D figurines of Hong Kong's panda, taxi, and ferry, as well as Singapore's landmarks, the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands.

     At the opening ceremony, the Director of the Singapore ETO, Mr Owin Fung, remarked, "Hong Kong is a city where creativity flourishes, with our cultural and creative industries gaining recognition both at home and on the international stage. As we celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Singapore ETO alongside the 10th anniversary of Enabling Village, this milestone provides a meaningful opportunity to share the vibrancy of Hong Kong's creativity and artistry with our friends in Singapore."

     He added, "The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government is committed to advancing the city's arts, cultural, and creative industries, with the aim of positioning Hong Kong as an East-meets-West hub for international cultural exchange. By bringing our brands and creative spirit abroad, including Chocolate Rain, the Singapore ETO aspires to build closer connections, enrich cultural exchanges, and deepen mutual understanding between the people of our two communities."

     Beyond the captivating installations, the exhibition features a series of 12 engaging DIY art and upcycling workshops conducted by Mak and her team. Participants can unleash their creativity and bring home complimentary Hong Kong-and-Singapore-themed souvenirs. Local social service agencies are also specially invited to participate, providing opportunities for persons with disabilities and their caregivers to engage in artistic creation and experience the joy of self-expression. Mr Fung and heads of social service agencies also took part in a workshop, where they experienced first-hand the joy of creating upcycled art alongside participants, and shared in the spirit of inclusiveness and creativity that the exhibition seeks to promote.

     Founded in 2000, Chocolate Rain is a Hong Kong-based creative brand dedicated to crafting unique stories and exhibitions filled with imagination and sincerity. The brand inspires young people to care for the environment, spread positive energy, and embrace their creativity. Over the years, Chocolate Rain has showcased its works across the globe, including on the Chinese Mainland and in the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, and Australia.

     The Singapore ETO and Chocolate Rain are delighted to hold the exhibition at Enabling Village with the support of its administrator SG Enable, Singapore's focal agency for disability inclusion, joining hands to foster social inclusion in the community. Enabling Village is an inclusive community space that brings together social businesses, community services, training providers, and lifestyle amenities within a welcoming environment that celebrates the abilities of all.
