APPortfolio is a bridge between artists and the mass market.
Having witnessed the unfavorable circumstances young people are facing with, we carried out the AAM(APPortfolio Asia Member)project which engages in collecting works of young artists/designers below the age of 35 establishing publication & exhibition team across Asia.
The idea was generated in Hong Kong. We select hundreds talented young artists annually from different regions and art domains with the deadline of September. Such catalogues are fashion design, illustration, photography, etc. The yearly publication APPortfolio and the Trinity exhibition will present the selected works along with each artist’s profile, serving as a channel of expression and communication.
In order to make the plan more constructive, we also includes interviews with world famous designers, photographers and popular illustrators, who could inspire the AAM by giving them good advice and sharing their own experiences.
Furthermore, we cooperates occasionally with public media, enterprises and charity, together with the AAM, focusing on specific social issue and come up with an artistic project on the theme. First, it is a way of undertaking our responsibility to the community. Secondly, by solving the problem, it gains an opportunity to propagate youth creativity as well. |
APPortfolio(亞洲青年創作平台)是藝術/設計創作者與大眾市場的鈎通橋梁。
有見年輕人出路茫茫又際遇難料,人脈連結尚未成熟,APPortfolio故開發出壹項「AAM」(APPortfolio Asia Member)創意計劃,招募35歲以下的年輕藝術家/設計師作品,橫跨亞洲區域,成立出版及策展團隊。
概念起源於香港,每年九月截止,跨地區挑選過百位優秀的年輕創作者,收錄其個人資料和代表作品,領域涉及服裝設計、插畫及攝影等八大類別,出版《亞洲青年創作集錄》年刊,舉辦「三位藝體」展,向華文世界推廣青年創意。
為了讓計劃具標竿效應,固定邀請國際知名創作大師合作及接受專訪,向書中「AAM」予以意見,分享衷懇的成長歷程,有助年輕設計師迅速成長。
APPortfolio定期與大眾媒體、企業與慈善團體合作,集結創意人,針對社會議題壹同展開非營利的主題式創作活動 - 「ACCP Project」 (Art x CSR x Charity x Public),壹方面擔當起社會責任,二方面通過問題解抉推廣優秀的青年藝術/設計。 |
