Hong Kong’s creative brands are poised to make a significant impact at the American Dream Mall in New Jersey with the upcoming “Hong Kong Meets America” creative art exhibition, scheduled for October 11th through 13th. Organized by the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office in New York, this event is all about fostering cultural exchange and showcasing the creative intersections between Hong Kong and the United States.
The Economic and Trade Office emphasizes that the exhibition aims to fully immerse attendees in a dynamic and imaginative environment that celebrates the distinct cultural elements of both regions. Visitors will be treated to a stunning array of 3D artworks featuring iconic symbols like the Statue of Liberty and yellow taxis, along with notable Hong Kong landmarks such as the Tian Tan Buddha and the Star Ferry.
In a delightful nod to Hong Kong’s rich culinary heritage, the exhibition will also showcase inflatable characters inspired by popular street food items, including pineapple buns, egg tarts, and Hong Kong-style milk tea. This aspect of the event promises to deliver a “dual visual and enjoyable experience” for attendees.
The organizers have planned a variety of interactive activities and DIY workshops to engage participants of all ages, all free of charge. Whether you’re an art lover or a family seeking an enjoyable outing, this exhibition promises a vibrant cultural experience that highlights the beauty of cross-cultural creativity.
Sophia Ho, Director of the Economic and Trade Office, expressed her enthusiasm for the event, sharing, “We are thrilled to introduce Hong Kong’s culture to American audiences through our collaboration with the Chocolate Rain brand. This exhibition beautifully harmonizes traditional and modern aesthetics, showcasing the vibrancy and creativity of talent nurtured in Hong Kong.”
Maiya Dun, the founder of Chocolate Rain, added, “I’m excited to share my artistic journey in the U.S. along with the character Fatina. I hope this exhibition brings back joyful and wonderful memories from everyone’s childhood.”
