Secrets behind Sek Kip Mei

Sek Kip Mei, a place where people did not pay much attention to. When people travel to Hong Kong, Sek Kip Mei always is not their first choice to visit. However, secrets behind it are more than you imagine.  Let us to take you to visit Sek Kip Mei. 

The first place we visit is Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC).

JCCAC is the acronym of the Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre. It is housed in an award-winning architectural conversion from the former Shek Kip Mei Factory Estate, which was a stronghold for cottage industries half a century ago. Opened in 2008 and operating as a self-financed, registered charity, JCCAC is positioned as a multi-disciplinary arts village and arts centre, providing studio facilities for the arts community and a relaxed environment for the public to experience arts and culture. Visitors are welcome to stroll around freely during opening hours to discover for themselves the creative spirit of the place. JCCAC strives to support arts development in Hong Kong by helping to nurture young talents and generally promote arts and culture through the provision of space (arts studios and display venues) for creative work.
