Twelve public art proposals for Sai Kung district will be displayed at the Sai Kung District Council Public Art Project 2009 exhibition from January 18.

The project aims to commission four selected artworks through an open call for proposals for production and installation at Man Yee Playground in Sai Kung, and Po Tsui Park and Po Hong Park in Tseung Kwan O.

The first stage of adjudication has been completed and 12 proposals were short-listed from 116 proposals for the second stage of selection.

To give the public an opportunity to learn more about public art and the progress of the project, the exhibition is held before the second stage of adjudication begins.

The exhibition will feature the detailed content and design concepts along with the models and sketches of the short-listed proposals. Members of the public may take this opportunity to express their views on the short-listed proposals.
