Dr Liza Wang, PolyU’s Artist-in-Residence 2020/21, convened the first meeting of the PolyU Artists’ Alliance in April. More than 30 well-known local artists from various fields, including music, visual art, Chinese opera, theatre, dance, and other genres have come together to create the Alliance, which aims to promote art and culture on campus and in the community, with a particular focus on engaging the younger generation.

PolyU is committed to advancing art and culture as part of the University’s effort to provide a holistic education. Since its establishment in 1999, the Artist-in-Residence Programme has received extensive support from many professional artists, fostering an appreciation for the arts among the University members. More importantly, numerous PolyU students have benefitted from the artists’ direct guidance in their artistic development.
