• Draw HK in Motion

This community art project encourages young people to draw and proves that everyone has the innate ability to wield a pencil creatively. This year, Draw HK is offering two experiences at PMQ: a community event weekend in May with free-of-charge drawing workshops, and an exhibition showcasing student and professional drawings, sponsored by China CITIC Bank International Limited.
