Standard Chartered Arts in the Park, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this month, is not just Hong Kong’s largest outdoor youth arts festival; it can be a launch pad for successful international careers.
The woman behind the festival is Lindsey McAlister, founder of the Hong Kong Youth Arts Foundation (HKYAF), which is known for producing original musicals. She launched Arts in the Park to give more youngsters the chance to shine.
The HKYAF flagship stage shows cannot accommodate every aspiring star in the city, so Arts in the Park is a way to give talented youths a platform, inspiring confidence in them and helping them develop their creativity and teamwork skills.
