Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre — Attraction in Hong Kong

The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre (JCCAC) is a large scale social project in Shek Kep Mei whereby a 9 storey factory estate was restored and repurposed into a multi-disciplinary arts centre, similar but much larger in scale to what can be found at the Cattle Depot Artist Village at Ma Tau Kok.

For the most part the JCCAC was closed down during the pandemic but there have been far more events, courses and the likes taking place there in recent months as Hong Kong has reopened its public and government run facilities around the city.

It takes some research to find activities and studios here suitable and convenient for tourists to visit and take part in. You can browse through the JCCAC website if interested. What visitors can do that is accessible are the coffee shop called Cafe Golden and the delightful Heritage Tea House. These are open daily.

JCCAC is located on Pak Tin Street and is around an 8-10 minute walk from the Shek Kip Mei...

Jockey club creative arts center was an industry building, creating job opportunities to the surrounding neighbors of shek kip mei residents and it brought economic benefit

the building is an award winning architectural building converting the shek kip mei factory building and now is served as a incubation of artworks creation, having more than hundred studio here and offering public programmes such as exhibitions, guided tours, performances and themed fairs.

This is an amazing space. As others have said this is a converted factory building and it is very proud of this industrial past at one level, but also retains, as it should, very much the atmosphere of its past. Although now full of artist units peddling a variety of skills and products including printing, dying, artist shops and coffee rooms, it has the feeling of walking around a large mostly empty - many artisans only work for short periods in the week - building. That said there is an excellent dedicated team ensuring lots is going on including walking tours, theatrical performances in the theatre and workshops. Overall an interesting afternoon but make sure you plan exactly what you want to see...
