CCIDA fosters Hong Kong and Beijing collaborations in art toys (with photos)
****************************************************************************
The exchange events are an extension of the CCIDA-sponsored "Hong Kong Cultural and Creative Mosaic", co-organised by the Palace Museum Cultural and Creative Products of the Palace Museum in Beijing and CCIDA. The two exchange events were held respectively at the Tsinghua University Academy of Arts & Design and the headquarters of a renowned Chinese toy brand, 52 Toys, in Beijing, providing a platform for attending Hong Kong original art toy designers to introduce their works to potential collaboration partners in Beijing, and to share experiences and have creative exchanges with them. The six Hong Kong designers led by CCIDA will also attend an exchange session with representatives of another renowned Chinese toy brand, Pop Mart, tomorrow (January 30).
Attending the exchange event today, Assistant Commissioner for Cultural and Creative Industries Miss Yvonne Ip remarked that with more and more Hong Kong designers creating art toys in recent years, CCIDA has been actively supporting them to explore markets outside Hong Kong. Both the display of exhibits by Hong Kong designers at the Palace Museum Cultural and Creative Products Hong Kong Space and the sponsoring of their exchange opportunities in Beijing help strengthen the cultural co-operation between Hong Kong and the Mainland under the country's 15th Five-Year Plan. This further enhances Hong Kong's role as the East-meets-West centre for international cultural exchanges so that Hong Kong can serve and integrate better into the overall national development.
In addition, the exhibition themed under Hong Kong intangible cultural heritage at the "Hong Kong Cultural and Creative Mosaic" was concluded on January 25, and has another theme of art toys from January 28 to April 19. This is the first art toys event held at the Palace Museum. The remaining two themes after art toys will be fashion and accessories, and lifestyle.
Co-organised by CCIDA and the Beijing Palace Museum's brand, the Palace Museum Cultural and Creative Products, the "Hong Kong Cultural and Creative Mosaic" runs for a year starting from November 2025 at the Hong Kong Space with four consecutive themed displays of cultural and creative products.
