About JCCAC

Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC) is a unique factory building turned vertical artist village and arts centre in Hong Kong. Representing a wide array of art forms but more inclined towards visual arts, it is where the studios of 140 artists and cultural organisations are based. JCCAC distinguishes itself in reserving almost a quarter of its studios for nurturing emerging artists. As an arts centre open to the public, JCCAC is known for its relaxed and creative environment where visitors could enjoy cultural activities including exhibitions, peJCCAC houses a compact but well-equipped Black Box Theatre  plus a two-storey exhibition gallery, with tea house, café and craft shops that encircle the Central Courtyard, as well as numerous small but quirky exhibition spaces dotted around the building.

The former Shek Kip Mei Factory Estate where JCCAC is located is a government-owned factory built in 1977. It was once a hub for many small family-run factories before the decline of light industries in Hong Kong. Thanks to support by the Hong Kong Government and a renovation sponsorship from The Hong Kong Jockey Club Charities Trust (for which the latter received naming rights of the renovated building), it was subsequently converted into an important art space spread over 200,000 square feet across nine storeys, winning the “Medal of the Year of Hong Kong” (2008) from the Hong Kong Institute of Architects along the way. JCCAC is a self-financed registered charity, Hong Kong Baptist University’s subsidiary and strategic partner of Hong Kong Arts Development Council and Hong Kong Arts Centre.
