As part of the Club’s commitment to supporting arts, culture, and heritage, we are bringing the essence of Tai Kwun to the clubhouse in an extraordinary new way, and you're invited to be part of this pioneering cultural moment.

Launching the Tai Kwun Sessions, a series of exclusive art and culture experiences curated for our Members, starting with a first look at Tai Kwun Open the Box 2025: Bloom of Light, this event offers Members a sneak peek at an innovative programme at The Eighth. This spectator-led experience, created by Japanese artist Shinji Ohmaki and curated by Veronica Wong, redefines museums as dynamic platforms for collective creativity.

Join curator Veronica Wong for an insider’s perspective on this ground-breaking initiative. Art often begins with artists and curators — it comes alive when the community shapes its vibrant narrative. Discover how you can be an active creator, not just a spectator, by weaving your personal stories into the artwork and contributing to a vibrant, cross-cultural tapestry.

This isn’t just about appreciating art; it’s about co-creating a living masterpiece with artists setting the stage.
