"Hong Kong Art Toys Expo" sponsored by Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency kicks off today (with photos)
******************************************************************************************
     Sponsored by the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Agency under the Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau, the "Hong Kong Art Toys Expo" was launched at Festival Walk, Kowloon Tong, today (January 8). The Expo runs until February 1 and is open to the public for free.
      
     The "Hong Kong Art Toys Expo" reminisces on the legendary journey of Hong Kong's toy industry, from being an original equipment manufacturer to nurturing internationally renowned art toy artists. The Expo showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and innovation of Hong Kong designers, featuring 12 popular large-scale original intellectual property (IP) figures and over 100 collectibles from nearly 30 Hong Kong toy brands and original IPs, offering visitors a full experience of the unique charm of Hong Kong's art toy culture.
      
     Speaking at the opening ceremony, the Under Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Raistlin Lau, remarked that Hong Kong creators have excelled globally in the art toys realm with their innovative designs and increasing influence in the IP market. They are the key representatives of Hong Kong's creative force. The Government has been fully committed to promoting the development of creative industries, continuously nurturing local talent and supporting expansion into the Chinese Mainland and overseas markets, fostering a conducive environment to facilitate the sustainable development of the industry. 
      
     The "Hong Kong Art Toys Expo" is the first event in the "A Tribute to Art Toys of Hong Kong" series, and will be immediately followed by the launch in late January of the Hong Kong Art Toys Chronicle website in which the section of "Masters' Hall" will feature the lives and creative journeys of original character designers. Thereafter, there will be the Hong Kong Art Toys Parade in the International Chinese New Year Night Parade on Chinese New Year's Day (February 17); and the Hong Kong Art Toys Carnival from February to March at Victoria Park. This series of events integrates Hong Kong's original art toys and IPs with tourism, creating unique cultural tourism experiences.
