the tenth anniversary of the Hong Kong Arts Centre for its
invaluable contribution to the growth of the arts in Hong

Hong Kong, notably in the arts arena, and throughout
these years, the Arts Centre has been a focal point for
much of the community's artistic development.
Philip Morris has a long tradition of arts sponsorship, For
nearly thirty years, we have contributed to a wide range of
cultural activities because we believe that in art, as in
business, there is always a need for imagination, innovation
and individual creativity.
We are therefore proud to support the very talented artists
whose works are represented in this exhibition. Their
paintings exemplify the great achievements that have
been madet)y members of our community. By sponsoring
this comprehensive exhibition, we hope to provide an
opportunity for Hong Kong citizens to become more
familiar with their own unique cultural expression.
