At the launch, a 18-meter canvas will be set up outside Hang Lung Centre and along Paterson Street to allow both professional artists and community members to freely express themselves and capture their collective memories and love for Wan Chai through art jamming. The event will transform the vibrant streets of Causeway Bay into an area filled with different exciting themes, displayed through the artworks on the large canvas.
At the same time, residents can attend Sketch Hong Kong's "Sketch Causeway Bay," a historical tour of the district led by a professional tour guide. The tour will walk through the history of Causeway Bay with participants, who will then be encouraged to show Causeway Bay's historical buildings and interesting events through sketching.
