Organizers think that arts instructors have made tremendous progress for local primary and secondary arts education. But Macau student’s creativity level is still far behind than those of Hong Kong, Taiwan and nearby regions, as arts education is not truly implemented. Through the hosting of “Macau High School Student Dimensional Art Creation Contest”, it is hoped to open up doors of sculpture arts to local teenagers; also to enlighten their passion in the dimensional arts scene, upgrading their art creation levels and to nurture Macau’s art education development through providing grounds for arts creativity interactions to happen, where teenagers can express themselves artistically.

The “Macau High School Student Dimensional Art Creation Contest Showcase” will be held during 21st January till 26th February at the Ox Ware House (Intersection of Avenida Coronel Mesquita and Avenida Almirante Lacerda), from 12:00 till 19:00 with every Tuesday closed. Admission is free. For inquiries, please dial 530026 or fax to 533047.
