The exhibition, presented by the Urban Council at the City Museum

and Art Gallery, will consist of 265 pictures and craftwork selected from

6,500 entries from 300 local schools.

It is held every two years and is intended as a regular survey of

art education in Hong Kong.

The theme for this exhibition is "discovering nature", which places

emphasis on the exploration of natural forms and natural materials.
