2>         What is the South Island Cultural District (SICD) Founded in 2013, SICD is currently formed by more than 25 galleries and art spaces in the South Island areas of Wong Chuk Hang and Tin Wan. No other district in Hong Kong, except Central, has so many high-quality galleries located in the same area. And no other district has so many galleries hosting exhibitions in large industrial spaces (ranging from 3000 to 5000sf). SICD is a major evolution and improvement to the Hong Kong art scene and the South Island district has become Hong Kong's new destination for contemporary art. New galleries and artist studios are opening in the area every few months. The South Island MTR line is also scheduled to open in March 2017, which will dramatically change the profile of our neighborhood which will likely become THE first art district with many Central galleries moving and more overseas galleries selecting the SICD to open their Hong Kong branches.

Objectives of the SICD Currently led by contemporary art galleries, the present objective of SICD is to bring awareness about the district to art lovers. We are organizing joint openings, specific events and liaise with art fairs and other festivals to promote the area. SICD has produced a guide available at key distribution points throughout Hong Kong. The group has a website will send monthly e-newsletters with updated information about spaces, exhibitions, special events and show openings. Soon SICD will include more cultural outlets in the area such as photo studios, dance academies, yoga centers, private kitchens, music studios, etc. Crossover and interdisciplinary events as well as cultural festivals will be organized. SICD is at the forefront of the promotion of this new and dynamic cultural neighborhood.
