Hong Kong original art toy exhibition stages in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (with photo)
***********************************************************************************
This exhibition in Kuala Lumpur represents a continued effort by CCIDA in sponsoring the industry to showcase Hong Kong original art toys in Southeast Asia following large-scale art toy exhibitions in Bangkok, Thailand, in 2022 and in Jakarta, Indonesia, in 2024. The two exhibitions in Bangkok and Jakarta successfully attracted attention from toy lovers in the two countries, and brought more than 250 business enquiries in total to the participating Hong Kong designers. Some were approached by local agents to import their art toys or hold solo exhibitions, which assisted Hong Kong original art toys to further penetrate the markets of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
The "Hong Kong Art Toy Story 2025@Kuala Lumpur" exhibition is also supported by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, Jakarta. Its Director-General, Miss Libera Cheng, also attended the opening ceremony.
The "Hong Kong Art Toy Story 2025@Kuala Lumpur" is being staged at The Exchange TRX until November 16. Among the 12 Hong Kong designers displaying their signature works in the exhibition, six of them have new creations that cross over with Hong Kong's intangible cultural heritage for this overseas debut.
Sponsored by CCIDA, the "Hong Kong Art Toy Story" series is organised by the Innovative Enterpreneur Association. In addition to holding large-scale Hong Kong original art toy exhibitions in various overseas markets for promotion and exploring business opportunities, the project has set up a Hong Kong Pavilion at the annual Thailand Toy Expo since 2023 to facilitate the display and sales of original art toys by Hong Kong designers. The Hong Kong Pavilion has become a highlight of the Thailand Toy Expo, attracting tens of thousands of toy fans and visitors from different countries, bringing several million Hong Kong dollars worth of sales to the participating Hong Kong designers over the years.
As promulgated in the Chief Executive's 2025 Policy Address, CCIDA will proactively assist Hong Kong designers in creating more cultural and creative products with Chinese and Hong Kong features, and will strengthen support for local original works to enter the Chinese Mainland and international markets.
