The Foundation for Art and Culture is honoured to lead the revitalisation of Haw Par Mansion, establishing it as an international villa for the arts: Hong Kong’s first cultural villa and a visionary “Embassy for Cultures.” This landmark initiative marks a new chapter in the city’s cultural evolution, celebrating its heritage while driven by a commitment to artistic excellence and global prestige.
Inspired by iconic institutions such as Villa Medici in Rome and Villa Albertine in the United States, the Villa will reframe the role of historic spaces in contemporary culture, setting a new regional benchmark for creativity and collaboration.
Rooted in community and open to the world, the Haw Par Villa will be more than a place; it will be a legacy, one that belongs to everyone. The Foundation welcomes future collaborators to shape this bold new chapter together.
