INTERNATIONAL ART EXHIBITION

At City Museum And Art Gallery

An international art exhibition which circulates in the Far East

has arrived in Hong Kong and is now being shown at the City Museum and

Art Gallery under the sponsorship of the Urban Council.

The exhibition is organised by the International Society of Plastic

and Audio-Visual Arts. (ISPAA) which was first founded in Japan around 1962.

Later branch associations were established in Korea, Taiwan,

Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Brazil, Switzerland, Okinawa, and Hong Kong.

The purpose of the Society is to promote cultural interchange in

the visual arts among as many countries as possible.

ISPAA has organised nine exhibitions of the same nature in the

past, and this is their tenth exhibition which was first shown in Singapore

last October and was subsequently in Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok.

All the exhibits are works of the ISPAA members of the various

participating countries or localities.

Sixty-six pieces of paintings, prints and sculptures make up the

present exhibition.

Among those, there are five from Brazil, thirteen from Japan, sixteen

from Korea, seven from Malaysia, seven from Singapore, four from Taiwan,

four from Thailand, and ten by Hong Kong artists.

The exhibition will remain open until May 28. Afterwards, it will

travel to Taiwan, Korea, and Japan.
