ART COMPETITION TO BE EXTENDED
Thursday, August 10, 1972
A competition being run by the City Museum and Art Gallery is proving
so popular among young people that the closing date is being extended until the
end of this month.
Originally it was to have ended on Sunday (August 13) but to allow more
children to take part during the summer vacation the closing date is now August 30,
The competition is based on the Chinese art objects on display in the
Museum and on the relevant explanatory notes in the exhibition cases.
Awards will be presented to the best 20 candidates in the senior and
junior groupe and trophies to schools whose students do particularly well.
At the same time, the City Museum and Art Gallery is holding a children's
art exhibition as part of the 10th anniversary of the City Hall.
Entitled "A Decade of Children's Pictures", it is the most comprehensive
exhibition of the works of Hong Kong's young artiste. The exhibits were selected
from more than 40,000 entries.
