Summer Interns

About Hong Kong Open Printshop
 

Founded in 2000, Hong Kong Open Printshop (HKOP) is Hong Kong’s first non-profit open printshop run by artists. In 2012, Hong Kong Open Printshop registered as a charitable organisation. Our main aim is to promote visual art with an emphasis on image making and give back to the community by providing art programmes that people of all ages and from all walks of life can enjoy. 
​
In 2022, Hong Kong Open Press was established by HKOP with a vision to preserve and promote the significant history of Hong Kong's letterpress printing industry. Its mission includes inheriting Chinese movable type and letterpress techniques while revitalizing this traditional craft through contemporary interpretations.
