Hong Kong Artists Bring the Arts to Kids in Need21-11-14
Art can be beneficial for any child but can be of great service to kids with learning disabilities and special needs. Special education and art integration have proven to be beneficial on many levels for special needs students. Art helps special needs kids in their self-expression, life skills, literacy and coordination. Art is a great way for special needs kids to find success in life. By understanding the benefits of integrating special education with art, parents and educators can find inspiration to introduce art into their school’s curriculum.
How to Get a Rehearsal Room in Town17-11-14
One thing we all search for in a busy city like Hong Kong is space to rehearse our shows in. Space is a commodity in this town.

Here's my tips for finding a rehearsal space in Hong Kong that won't eat away 1/2 of your budget.

Want to Join the Critic's Panel?28-10-14
Due to an increase demand for reviews over the next 6 weeks HKELD will be adding one more slot to their critic's panel in fall of 2014. We are looking for an art loving, opinionated person to fill the slot. Most members of the critic's panel are artists, but this is not a requirement of the position. Writers are not traditionally compensated for their work but get valuable writing experience, free tickets to shows, and a reference for their resume.
