Arts
Hello Everyone! Hong Kong is a fantastic city, full of everything that you need to pursue your career. What about the dream of becoming an artist? Are there universities worth recommending? I decided to make a mini-series exploring the question "Where to study Arts in Hong Kong?". In this series, I’ve talked with students who are giving us the privilege to see universities by their eyes and tell us about their passion for arts. I had this great pleasure to start from interviewing Ira Almeda representing SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design in Hong Kong. Ira is a third-year Painting, Bachelor of Fine Arts student at SCAD Hong Kong, and she has been exhibiting work since the age of 16. Also, Ira has been recently invited to take part in a group exhibition at Opera Gallery. Her artwork was on display alongside renowned artists such as Zao Wou-Ki and Feng Xiao-Min, along with their Western counterparts, Pierre Soulages and Hans Hartung. I talked with Ira about her recent group exhibition, studying at SCAD, and how important it is to find a mentor in the first stage of your career. Finally, we will also have a chance to see SCAD by Ira’s eyes, visit her classroom, and meet her beloved mentor!
