The Culture Promotion Committee of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, set up in 1999, has presented a great number and variety of arts and cultural programmes every year since then with the aim of broadening both students' and staff members' artistic and cultural horizons. The programmes also provide opportunities for students and staff to get together outside class. This enrichment of campus life and encouragement of cultural awareness allows us to achieve a further aim: that of contributing to the overall well-being and all-round development of PolyU students.

Since the establishment of the Culture Promotion Committee, over a hundred programmes have been held on campus each year. These have encompassed music, dance, theatre, visual arts, films and video, literary arts, talk series, carnivals, exhibitions, artist-in-residence programmes, PolyU Arts Festivals and many others.
