1a Space

1a space, founded in 1998, is an independent, non-profit making contemporary visual art organisation and art venue founded by a collective of Hong Kong artworkers.

It moved from its original location an old government warehouse at Oil Street, North Point, to the current location at Cattle Depot in 2002. 1a space aims to promote the making, experimentation, exchange and dissemination of contemporary art both in Hong Kong and in the international arena. Since its foundation, 1a space has developed into one of Hong Kong’s leading contemporary art organisations. It has produced more than 170 exhibitions and activities, and has been active in international exchanges, cultural festivals, participatory community art, as well as art education and publications. The operation funding of 1a space has been supported by the grants and donations, while its administration cost is partially supported by the Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
